Higher Secondary School

This is the Higher Secondary School located at I 32E in Baghajatin Pally, Kolkata. It is a typical school building, always filled with the sound of students talking and teachers giving lessons. We have been in this part of Kolkata for a long time. The building itself has seen many years of kids coming and going. We have classrooms that are usually pretty full and a small staff room where we sit and grade papers. It is not a fancy private institution with a huge campus, but it is our school. We focus on the basic subjects and try to help the older students get ready for whatever comes after they finish here. The Baghajatin Pally area is quite busy, so there is always a lot of activity at the gate when school starts and ends. We have a lot of books and old desks. Sometimes the fans are a bit noisy in the summer, but we get through the lessons. The teachers here are just local people who care about the neighborhood. We know the parents and we see the kids grow up over the years. It is a rewarding job, even if it is tiring most days. We don't have a lot of extra frills, just the essentials for learning. We just keep the doors open and the bells ringing on time. It is a big part of the local community here in Kolkata. We take pride in just being a steady place for the kids.
