History
The descendants of Ali Amjad Khan donated 0.84 acres (0.34 ha) for the school.[1] It was founded in 1932[2] as the private Ali Amjad Jubilee Girls' High School.[1]
When the school outgrew its original site, other philanthropists donated an additional 1.23 acres (0.50 ha), which became the school's new campus.[1] In 1962, the school opened the Al-Haj Keramat Ali Girls' Hostel.[3]
The school was provincialised in 1968. At the time, the expenditure of 350,000 Pakistani rupees ($73,500 in 1968) was approved for new construction, but two years later ground had yet to be broken.[4] The Pakistan Observer reported that the hostel was in a "very deplorable condition". The headmistress was residing in a room of the science building because of the dilapidated state of her official accommodation. Classroom space was so limited that many pupils had to be turned away.[5] The school also suffered from a teacher shortage for several years after provincialisation. In February 1971, one-third of its teaching positions were unfilled.[6][7]
During the Bangladesh Liberation War, the school was used as a Pakistan Army camp.[8]
All activities of the school were transferred to the new campus in 1980. Four years later, the Manu River flooded, destroying many of the library's books.[1]
