History.
Railway employees in Palakkad desired an English-medium school for their children, and with the blessing of Mar George Alapatt, Bishop of Thrissur, two Holy Family sisters came to Olavakkode and established a nursery school in 1961. Government approval came in 1963 for a lower primary school, then a high school, and the first batch of SSLC students passed out in 1974. The school celebrated its golden jubilee in 2012.
