Heritage Academy High School

Heritage Academy High School is situated at 69, Gopal Banerjee Lane in the Kadamtala area of Howrah. If you know Howrah, you know how these lanes can be. It is a very lived-in neighborhood with houses and shops all squeezed together. Our school is a big part of that. The building is an older style, which gives it some character. We have several floors of classrooms connected by some narrow stairs. It can get quite loud with all the traffic from the main roads nearby, but inside the school, we try to keep things focused. The staff room is always full of tea cups and stacks of notebooks. We have been here at 711101 for quite some time now. Most of the students live within walking distance, so you see them walking down Gopal Banerjee Lane every morning with their bags. We don’t have a huge field, but the kids find space to play where they can. The office is right near the entrance where we deal with all the admissions and the daily mail. It is a busy place, especially when school lets out and everyone is trying to get home at once. We don’t use any big words to describe what we do, we just teach the classes and hope the kids learn something. It is a honest way to make a living in a city like Howrah. We keep a small first aid kit in the office for scraped knees.
