St Johns School

If you head into Chittoor, you’ll find St Johns School right there in the 517001 zip code. It’s a familiar spot for many people living in this part of town. The school day starts early, and you can hear the chatter of the students from down the street. We’ve got a mix of older staff and some newer faces, but everyone is just focused on getting through the syllabus. The building itself is functional, with various wings that have been added or patched up over the years. We spend a lot of time in the office dealing with admissions and the daily logistics of running a school in Chittoor. The hallways are usually filled with the smell of lunch from the students' bags around noon. We have a small library where the books are a bit worn out from use, but the kids still head there when they have a free period. It’s not a quiet place until late in the evening. There is always a tap leaking somewhere or a light that needs fixing, which keeps our maintenance guy busy. We know most of the parents by name because they stop to chat at the gate. It’s a very community-oriented atmosphere, nothing too formal or stiff. We just show up, do the teaching, handle the chaos of the playground, and prepare for the next round of exams. It’s just the way things go at St Johns.
