Himani Model High School

Our school sits on Tigaon Road in Ballabhgarh. We take up the first and second floors of the building here. It is a busy area in Faridabad, so there is always something going on outside the windows. The stairs can be a bit of a climb when the kids are all rushing up at once in the morning. We have been in this spot for quite a while now. The building is older, but it serves us well for the high school classes. You can see the traffic on the road from the balcony, and the sounds of the market are never too far away. Inside, the classrooms are filled with old desks and blackboards. We don't have any of those fancy digital screens; we just stick to the way we've always done things. The teachers have their own small area where they sit during breaks. It gets quite warm in the summer, but the ceiling fans keep the air moving enough. Most of the students come from the nearby colonies and walk or take a cycle to get here. It is a very local kind of place where everyone knows each other’s business. We don't try to look like a corporate office. It's just a school where we try to get through the syllabus every year. There are always papers to grade and lessons to plan, and we just keep at it day after day in Ballabhgarh.
