Coronation Higher Secondary School

Located at 66 - A, Gnanagiri Road, we’ve been a part of Sivakasi East for a long time. Most people around here just call us the school on Gnanagiri Road. It’s a typical Sivakasi setting, quite hot most of the year and very busy. The school building has been added to over the years, so it’s a bit of a maze if you aren’t used to it. We have students coming from all parts of the town. Some walk, some come on cycles. The day usually starts with a bit of a rush as everyone tries to get inside before the gate closes. We have a lot of history here, and you can see it in the old photos hanging in the office. The benches are worn down from years of use, but they still hold up. We focus on the basics here. Language, math, science—the usual stuff kids need to get ahead. During the festival seasons, the whole area gets even busier, but we try to keep the kids focused on their books. The teachers are strict but they care about how the students turn out. It’s not a fancy private school with air conditioning. It’s a place for regular families. We have a small yard for games, though it’s mostly just dirt. It serves its purpose though. Life moves fast in Sivakasi, and we just keep doing what we do every day. It’s a lot of work, but we are used to it.
