Rajagiri at a glance - Milestones

 

The school grew in size and stature with the passage of time. Young Rajagiri was fondly looked after by Rev.Fr.Gregory Karotemprel,CMI (presently the Bishop of Diocese of Rajkot) and Rev. Fr. Aaron Vithayathil CMI,who are rightly called the pioneers of the school. The late Mr.Joseph V.Manjooran being the retired headmaster of St.Alberts School brought a wealth of knowledge and experience to the school during its inception while he served as headmaster (1964-1976). The administrative function was carried out by the pioneer fathers.

 

Over the years the following helmsmen have been rendering fruitful and steadfast service as heads of the institutions with the able help of faculty members.
