History

In the 1930s, a revolutionary thinker and a social worker, Abubakkar Lebbai Sayyadhu Mohammed, established this school on 12 February 1935. The first principal was A.K. Subramaniyam. During its early stages, admission was only granted to boys. At the beginning, there were only 3 teachers and 36 students. In 1936, this school was improved with an addition of 1 teacher (4 total) and 170 students (215 total). Asunder from that, on 9 April 1937, a Teachers and Parents Association was created. In 1944, S.S.C classes began. In 1948, with 423 students and 15 teachers, a new block was constructed for use.

In 1952 the school was divided in two as upper school and lower school and had improved with 14 classes. In 1958, the girls in the village were granted with admissions to join the school. During that time, the educational minister Mr. Dasanayaka constructed a new block to the school. Shortly thereafter, the school started to become very popular. In 1994, the school was announced as a national school. In the period where A.H.M. Siddeek(1997–2008) was the principal, the school was ameliorated with new physical resources. In 2003, a building was constructed with a new block and was separated for the English Medium, which started successfully. The school then gained more popularity and came into the spotlight. Many students have joined since then. A new auditorium was opened in 2004 in Memory of M.H.M.Ashraff, who was the founder of Sri Lanka Muslim Congress. It has a vast capacity and holds a lot of cultural events, which a lot of other school participants take place in as well.[7][8]
