Thamarai Matriculation Higher Secondary School

Our school is located at No 1/173 on Sivagiri Main Road in Kodumudi. Thamarai Matriculation Higher Secondary School has been a part of this Erode neighborhood for quite a few years. It is a tall building and you can see the town from the top floors. We have many students, from the little ones just starting out to the big kids finishing their higher secondary years. It gets very loud during the lunch hour when everyone is outside at once. We don't have a lot of extra space, so we have to use every corner of the building. The teachers' room is always packed with books and tea cups. We don't have a professional cleaning crew, so we all pitch in to keep the place looking decent. Sometimes the walls need a new coat of paint, but we prioritize getting new books for the library instead. We don't have any polished speeches about what we do. We just follow the government syllabus and try to get the students through their exams. The parents in Kodumudi are hard-working people, and we try to respect that by doing our jobs properly. There is a lot of routine here—assembly, classes, break, more classes. It is not exciting, but it is important work. We just keep our heads down and get on with the day.
