Shanti Niketan High School

You can find Shanti Niketan High School tucked away in Durgeswara Swami Temple Lane. It’s right off Jpn Road here in Warangal. Being so close to the temple means we hear the bells and the general bustle of the lane all day long. The address is 9 10 85, and it’s a spot that most people in this part of town are familiar with. We aren’t a big corporate chain school with lots of branches. It’s just this one building where we’ve been teaching for years. The stairs are a bit narrow and the walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, but it feels like home to us. Our staff members live nearby and many of them have been with us since they started their careers. We don’t spend money on big advertisements or billboards. Word usually gets around the neighborhood by itself. The kids come in every morning with their bags and we try to keep things orderly despite the noise from the street. It’s a practical setup. We have the usual desks, blackboards, and a small area for the staff to sit and have their tea. It gets busy during the exam season, and the office gets cluttered with stacks of paper and registers. We just do our best to keep everything moving forward without making much of a fuss about it. It is a humble place for learning and we like it that way. We're just here every day.
