Shri I C Desai Smarak High School

Shri I C Desai Smarak High School is located at number 1 in Valsad. It is a name that carries some history for the people living around here. The school building is a familiar sight for anyone who grows up in this part of town. We have a big gate that we swing open every morning at 7:30 sharp. The students come in wearing their uniforms, some looking sleepy and others ready to run around the yard. It is a typical high school life, full of exams and sports and hanging out under the trees. We have a few big old trees in the yard that provide good shade during the afternoon. The office is usually a bit of a mess with papers and registers, but we know where everything is kept. It is not one of those schools with glass walls and air conditioning everywhere. We have ceiling fans that hum all day long. The stairs are worn down a bit from thousands of feet going up and down over the years. Valsad is a quiet enough place, and our school fits right into that rhythm. We have a small library where it is actually quiet for once. Most of the teachers have been here for years, so they know the families in the area really well. It is just a steady, reliable place for the local kids to spend their teenage years learning.
