Ponnamanda High School

You can find Ponnamanda High School out on Jind Road in the Gohana area of Sonepat. It’s a familiar spot for the people living nearby. The school has been part of the local landscape for some time now. In the morning, the road gets busy with cycles and people walking toward the gates. The school building itself is practical. We have rooms for different grades and a space where everyone gathers. There isn't anything overly shiny about the place; it’s just a solid school where work gets done. The desks are a bit worn from years of use, but they serve their purpose. Teachers are often seen carrying stacks of notebooks across the yard. When it rains, the sound on the roof is quite loud, which sometimes distracts the students. We have a routine that we stick to every day. The students come in, they do their classes, and then they head back home to Gohana. There is a sense of familiarity here because the staff has stayed the same for a long time. We deal with the usual stuff like broken chalk or squeaky doors. It’s an honest place. We don't try to act like a big corporate office. It’s just a school on Jind Road where kids grow up and learn their basics before moving on to whatever comes next in their lives. The afternoons are quiet once everyone leaves for the day. We just try to make sure every student has a desk and a book to work with.
