Challapalli High School

You can find Challapalli High School over on Kapu Street in Gudemcheruvu. It’s a familiar spot for people living in Jammalamadugu. The building is 18/44 on that road. It’s an old-fashioned high school. We have high ceilings and those big windows that let in the breeze. The street outside can get a bit loud with scooters and people going to the market nearby. Inside, we try to keep things focused on the lessons. We have rows of benches that have seen many years of students. The teachers use a lot of chalk and talk for hours on end. It’s a simple way of doing things, but it works for us. We don't have a computer for every student or anything like that. We use what we have. During the festivals, we might decorate the entrance a little bit with some flowers. Most of the staff have been here for a decade or more. They know the siblings and cousins of the current students quite well. It’s a tight-knit kind of place. We focus on the basics like reading, writing, and math. Sometimes the kids get a bit rowdy during the break, but that's just how children are. We don't try to be a fancy international school or anything. We're just a local high school on a busy street trying to help the neighborhood kids get an education so they have a future.
