On 17th January, 2016, Holy Cross Higher Secondary School, Silchar completed an eventful march of 50 Golden Years in the service of the Lord and humanity. All the same, the beginning has quite a different story to tell. Holy Cross, had its humble origin in the form of a Khasi medium school established by the Holy Cross Fathers and Brothers of Canadian Mission, who came to Silchar around 1947 and set up residence at Ghaniala Basti, Malugram. This, in turn, was switched over to English medium in 1966 at the behest of the people at large. From here, began the formal journey of Holy Cross towards the pedestal where it stands today, disseminating moral, intellectual and ethical education to the future citizens of the nation. The school, which, at its infancy, saw a humble strength of only 150 students, today boasts of grooming about 2000 young minds for the intellectual and spiritual benefit of the society.
