Sri Vidhya Mandir Higher Secondary School

Our school sits on the Thappakuttai Main Road in Elampillai, which is a busy area in the Salem district. Most people around here are involved in the weaving business, so the town is always moving. We are a higher secondary school, so we have students from the small grades all the way up to those preparing for college. The road outside can get a bit dusty with all the traffic passing through to Salem. Our building is a solid structure that has been here for years. We have quite a few classrooms, and they stay pretty full. We do not have any polished corporate mission statements. We just show up every morning, open the gates, and start the classes. The teachers use the blackboards and the students take their notes. It is very traditional. During the rainy season, the road gets a bit messy, but the kids always find a way to get here. We have a lot of records to maintain in the office, and that keeps the staff busy most of the time. We do not spend money on advertising. People in Elampillai know who we are because their cousins or neighbors probably came here too. It is just a regular school trying to help the local kids get through their exams. We take things one day at a time and just keep the routine going.
