St John's Church High School
St. John's Church High School (co-educational) was established by Mrs. Gallagher, whose husband was a missionary in the Diocese of Medak of the Church of South India.
Location
The school is adjacent to the St. John's Church, St. John's Road, Nehru Nagar (old name Marredpally), Secunderabad, India. Only the main campus at the beginning, with the junior school section shifted to nearby premises in the early 1970s. It is one of the oldest schools in Secunderabad, admitting both boys and girls. The school uniform changed to a khaki colour in the late 1960s, with black shoes and a tie. Sports activities include baseball, shot put, javelin, and discus.
