Morning Star Sr. Sec. School

Down on Khem Karan Road in the Patti area of Phagwara, you’ll find Morning Star Sr. Sec. School. It’s a local school that has been serving this neighborhood for quite a long time now. We have students from all sorts of backgrounds coming here every day. The building is a bit of a maze if you aren't used to it, with different wings for the senior students and the junior sections. Every morning, the street gets filled with bicycles and kids walking to the gate. We don't have a lot of fancy equipment or high-tech classrooms, but we have enough desks and blackboards to get the lessons done. The teachers here are mostly locals who have been with us for years. They know the families and the kids pretty well, which helps with the discipline. It’s a senior secondary school, so we have the older ones preparing for their futures while the little ones are just learning how to sit still in their chairs. The weather really affects us; when it rains, the road outside gets a bit muddy, and we have to spend extra time cleaning the floors once everyone gets inside. It’s just part of the daily life here in Phagwara. We don’t try to be something we’re not. It’s a place for learning, and we keep it as practical as possible. Life on Khem Karan Road moves at its own pace, and the school is right in the middle.
