After evaluating their exam papers, B Gamashri, an English medium student, scored 490 out of 500 and M Kalaiarasan, a Tamil medium student scored 393 out of 500. As per my assurance, they were honoured as the headmaster and assistant headmaster along with the teachers and members of the School Management Committee. They were also given cash prizes.”
The students were welcomed to the school with a band and they sat in the chairs of the headmaster and assistant headmaster respectively. Following that, they also followed the routine works of the headmaster and assistant headmaster such as checking the noon meals, monitoring the students, etc.
The headmaster also said that due to continuous motivation by the teacher, the school got centum results in the last two years.
