About Hindu Higher Secondary School
Watrap, traditionally known as Vathirayiruppu—meaning “a land of unfailing fertility”—lies in the rain shadow region of the Varushanadu Hills of the Western Ghats. The roots of education in this fertile land began in the mid-19th century with the establishment of a modest primary school known as ‘Subbarayar School’.
By 1878, the school evolved into an Anglo-Vernacular School with around 50 students. With steady growth in both student strength and academic excellence, the institution flourished and was formally renamed in 1907 as:
The Hindu Secondary School and Chattram Committee
In 1948, it gained official recognition as a High School, and by 1978, it was further upgraded to a Higher Secondary School.
