Rival Higher Secondary English School

Our school is located right on Satai Road in the Green Avenue Colony area of Chhatarpur. It’s been sitting here for a good few years now. If you’re driving down toward the main market, you’ll probably see the sign for Rival Higher Secondary English School. It’s a decent-sized building, though it’s starting to show its age in some spots. We’ve got kids coming in from all over the neighborhood. The morning rush is always a bit of a mess with all the cycles and parents dropping kids off. We try to keep things organized, but you know how it is. Inside, the hallways are usually full of posters the students made. We’ve got some desks that have seen better days, but they serve their purpose for the lessons. Chhatarpur gets quite hot, so the fans are always going full blast in the summer. It’s a bit noisy, but the students don't seem to mind much. We spend a lot of our time just making sure the books are in order and the schedules are followed. It’s not a glamorous job, but someone’s got to do it for the community. The teachers here are mostly locals, people who grew up around here and stayed. Sometimes we have tea in the staff room and talk about how much the town has changed since Green Avenue Colony was first built. It used to be much quieter back then. Now, there’s always something going on outside our gates throughout the day.
