Stella Maris High School

People in Vidyanagar know Stella Maris High School mostly because of where it sits right on B M Road. It’s an easy landmark for anyone traveling through this part of town. The building has been standing for quite some time, and you can see the wear and tear that comes with years of students running through the hallways. It’s a high school, so things can get a little intense when exams are coming up, but mostly it’s just the usual routine of lectures and lunch breaks. We have a lot of kids coming in from the surrounding areas every day. Some walk, while others take the bus. The noise from B M Road is always there in the background, but we’ve all gotten used to it by now. The staff room is usually a mess of papers and half-finished tea cups, which is pretty much how things go when you’re busy. We don’t have fancy gadgets in every corner, but we have what’s needed for the classes. The playground is mostly dirt and some patches of grass, but the kids don't seem to mind when they're playing football. We have a small canteen that sells snacks, and it's always the most popular spot during the short break. It’s a place that feels lived-in, not like those new buildings that look like hospitals. We just focus on keeping the kids in their seats and getting through the syllabus each year. It’s a job like any other for us, keeping the wheels turning for the families on B M Road.
