Matushri Hematba Jethalal Barot High School

You can find Matushri Hematba Jethalal Barot High School over at Laukik 43/24 in the Nav Sahyadri Society. This part of Karve Nagar, near Hingne Budrukh, is a pretty established area in Pune. Being inside a society makes the school feel connected to the people living right next door. We have the older kids here since it is a high school. They are always carrying heavy bags and talking about their exams. The building is part of the local landscape now. It isn't a brand new structure, so it has that lived-in feel which some people like. We spend a lot of time making sure the classrooms are ready for the morning bell. There is a lot of history in a name like this. Most people just call us by a shorter version when they are talking in the street. The teachers here have been around for years, some of them. We see the same faces every morning at the gate. It is a routine that works for us. The streets around Nav Sahyadri are usually full of people going to work or the market. It feels like a real community hub. We don't try to be anything we aren't. It is just a school where we try to get the work done and help the students move on to their next step. If you visit us in 411052, you will see exactly what I mean.
