Csi Mary Mclean Middle School

Located in Pandianallore, Sholinghur, our middle school has been a fixture in the Vellore district for a long time. It’s a CSI school, and the building itself has that old-fashioned look that you don't see much anymore. We are in Walajapet Taluk, and most of our students come from the surrounding villages. The middle school years are always a bit chaotic because the kids are at that age where they are growing up fast and have a lot of energy. Our day usually starts with a simple gathering in the courtyard before everyone heads into the classrooms. The walls are thick, which helps keep things a bit cooler during the hot Vellore summers, but we still rely heavily on the old fans. We don't have a lot of fancy equipment; it’s mostly just the basics like textbooks, blackboards, and a few sports items for when they go outside. The staff here is like a small family because many have been teaching in this same building for decades. We know the history of the place and the families who send their children here generation after generation. It’s not a polished or modern campus, but it’s honest and serves the community well. We spend our time grading papers, talking to parents about their kids' progress, and trying to keep the old building in good shape. It’s a quiet life here in Pandianallore, just focused on the school and the students.
