Iqbal Higher Secondary School

If you head out toward Njaraneeli, you’ll find Iqbal Higher Secondary School. We are located in Peringammala, right in the Daivappura area. It is a quiet enough place most of the time, except when the bell rings for a break. We have been here quite a while, and the school has grown as the town did. The students here are older, since we handle the higher secondary years, so things are a bit different than a primary school. You see them walking down the road in groups, talking about their exams or whatever else is on their minds. The building itself is sturdy and has plenty of windows to let the breeze in, which helps when it gets humid. We spend our mornings getting the classrooms sorted out. It isn't always perfect; sometimes a desk wobbles or a light needs changing, but we stay on top of it. People in the village know where we are, and we don't feel the need to put up huge advertisements or anything like that. We just show up every day and do what needs doing. The trees around the yard provide some decent shade during the afternoons. It feels like a solid part of the community here. We see the same faces every day, and that’s a nice way to work. It’s just a regular school doing its job for the families around Peringammala and the nearby spots. It gets busy, but we just take it one day at a time.
