Amarjyoti Senior Secondary School

Amarjyoti Senior Secondary School sits right along the Nh21 Road in Thachi, which is part of the Mandi district. Being near the highway means there is always a bit of traffic passing by, but we’ve got a decent fence up. It’s a straightforward school, nothing too over the top. We have students coming in from all the nearby villages. Usually, the mornings are the busiest time when everyone is trying to get inside before the first bell. We don't have a big marketing department or anything like that; we just focus on the teaching. The building is a bit older, so we’re always fixing a leaky roof or painting a classroom during the holidays. It’s a lot of work just keeping the place running, to be honest. We have a small staff and everyone chips in with whatever needs doing, whether it’s sorting out the library books or fixing a broken chair. The weather in Mandi can be unpredictable, so we’re always checking the clouds. We keep the lessons simple and follow the curriculum without too much fuss. It’s a practical environment for the kids to learn in. Most of us have been working here for years, so we know the families in Thachi pretty well. It’s just a regular local school trying to do right by the students every day. No bells and whistles, just classrooms and books and a bit of hard work.
