St Theresa High School

Down in Jeppu, near the Kankandy area, you’ll find St Theresa High School. It’s a solid old building that has seen many groups of students pass through its doors over the years. We are located in a part of Mangalore that feels very lived-in and familiar. The hallways can get a bit dark on cloudy days, but we have enough lights to keep things moving. We have classrooms for the different grades, and the older students usually hang out near the stone benches during their lunch hour. It’s a typical high school environment where there’s always someone running late or a teacher looking for a piece of chalk. Our address is easy to find if you know the Jeppu neighborhood. We don't have a lot of modern decorations; it’s mostly just the basics like wooden desks and big cupboards full of old records and textbooks. The grounds are kept tidy, though the trees drop a lot of leaves in the summer. We have a bell that marks the start and end of every period, and you can hear it from down the street. It’s a place where work gets done and students prepare for their exams without much fuss. Everyone knows everyone here, which is just how things are in this part of town. We just keep the place running and make sure the students have a spot to sit and books to read while they are here.
