Shri Swaminarayan High School

Down here in Veraval, this school is just a regular part of the daily routine for many of the families living nearby. Being a high school, we deal with teenagers mostly, which keeps things interesting. The building is solid and has stood through many different seasons over the years. We have a good number of classrooms and a small open area where the kids can play some sports. In the mornings, you will see the students arriving on their cycles or walking up from the main road. The air here often has that salty feel to it because we are so close to the coast. We try to keep the classrooms as tidy as possible, but with so many kids coming in and out, there is always a bit of dust on the floors. We follow the standard government curriculum and spend a lot of time making sure everyone is ready for their final exams. It involves a lot of paperwork and checking through student journals late into the afternoon. During the lunch break, the hallways get very loud with kids eating and talking. We have a few trees in the yard that provide some much-needed shade when the sun is high. Most people in town know us because their siblings or cousins probably came here too. It is not a fancy setup, just a school where we do our jobs every day without too much fuss.
