Our History

“Reach high, for the stars lie hidden in your soul. Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal.”

Our school was established on 09 April 1992 by the Carmelite Charitable Society in collaboration with the Sisters of the Sacred heart. The initial months were fraught with difficulties and risks due to inadequate infrastructure and insufficient funds. We had a very humble beginning with just 80 students. A great visionary, Rev . Fr. Ambrose Panackal OCD, the Founder Director of our school, along with Rev. Sr. Rosilda S.H., embarked upon the epoch making journey of our school in a rented house admitting 80 students into the L.K.G. and later on segregated them to Nursery and L.K.G. Thus on 9 April 1992, Mount Carmel School, Thakurdwara, was formally inaugurated in the said rented building by Mr. Ram Subag Sing S.D.M. Palampur, the Chief Guest of the Day.

On 28 June 1993 we bade fond farewell to Rev. Fr. Ambrose and warmly welcomed Rev. Fr. Peter Kappalumackal OCD as the new Director and also on 15 th July 1993 we bade farewell to Rev. Sr. Rosilda, the founder Principal and cordially welcomed Rev. Sr. Prasantha S.H. as the new Principal. Rev. Fr. Peter, Our Director, who had fondly nurtured our school for 3 years during its infancy was transferred on 11 th June 1996. He is always remembered by the students and the teachers as a great source of inspiration and motivation; he led us by example: by his hard work, dedication and commitment. On the same day we welcomed our new director, Rev. Fr. Augustine Mundatt.We bade farewell to Rev. Fr. Augustine, Director of our school, and enthusiastically welcomed back our Founder Director, Rev. Fr. Ambrose, for a second term on 23 rd January 1999. Rev. Sr. Elsy Paul joined as the new Principal on 18 th June 1998 as Rev. Sr. Prasantha was transferred after completing 3 years of service in this Institution.

On 28 May 2001 Rev. Sr. Elsy Paul was transferred and Rev. Sr. Fausty assumed the Principal’s office. The school got a new Director again on 17 May 2002 when Rev. Fr. Mark Nediyakalayil replaced Rev. Fr. Ambrose Panackal. After serving this station for four years Rev. Fr. Mark left Palampur on 14 June 2006 when Rev. Fr. Joseph Vellanal moved in as the Director of our school. On 15 June 2007 , Rev. Sr. Fausty , the longest serving Principal till then was replaced by Rev. Sr. Prasantha who had served this school in the same capacity during its infancy.
