Hindu Senior Secondary School, Triplicane

The Hindu Senior Secondary School is a school in Triplicane, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India.

History

The school started by Hindu Educational Organisation in 1971 with a strength of 171. It has risen to be a senior secondary school and junior college with a strength of more than 2,500 students with classes from lower kindergarten to +2.

The Managing Committee of the Hindu High School started the Hindu Higher Secondary School for Boys (the Present Hindu Senior Secondary School and Junior College) in 1971 with Classes VI and VII.

The institution provides for the learning of four languages - Tamil (the regional language), Hindi (the national language), English (the international language) and Sanskrit (Indian classical language).

The Primary Section with Classes IV and V was opened in 1973. In 1974 classes I to III were opened and the school was converted into a co-educational institution. In June 1975, the Primary Department was a full-fledged institution with the addition of LKG and UKG and the Classes VI to XI (the then Higher Secondary) was affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education.

The school, which was accommodated in the HEO Hostel building at the beginning, has been shifted to the new building from June 1974 at 83 Big Street.

The 10+2+3 pattern of education was introduced in 1976-77 with the first batch for X Std, and the last year for XI std. (Higher Secondary).

The present Principal of the school is Shri. J. Srinivasa Ragavan

gollark: No, Richard, it's 'Linux', not 'GNU/Linux'. The most important contributions that the FSF made to Linux were the creation of the GPL and the GCC compiler. Those are fine and inspired products. GCC is a monumental achievement and has earned you, RMS, and the Free Software Foundation countless kudos and much appreciation.Following are some reasons for you to mull over, including some already answered in your FAQ.One guy, Linus Torvalds, used GCC to make his operating system (yes, Linux is an OS -- more on this later). He named it 'Linux' with a little help from his friends. Why doesn't he call it GNU/Linux? Because he wrote it, with more help from his friends, not you. You named your stuff, I named my stuff -- including the software I wrote using GCC -- and Linus named his stuff. The proper name is Linux because Linus Torvalds says so. Linus has spoken. Accept his authority. To do otherwise is to become a nag. You don't want to be known as a nag, do you?(An operating system) != (a distribution). Linux is an operating system. By my definition, an operating system is that software which provides and limits access to hardware resources on a computer. That definition applies whereever you see Linux in use. However, Linux is usually distributed with a collection of utilities and applications to make it easily configurable as a desktop system, a server, a development box, or a graphics workstation, or whatever the user needs. In such a configuration, we have a Linux (based) distribution. Therein lies your strongest argument for the unwieldy title 'GNU/Linux' (when said bundled software is largely from the FSF). Go bug the distribution makers on that one. Take your beef to Red Hat, Mandrake, and Slackware. At least there you have an argument. Linux alone is an operating system that can be used in various applications without any GNU software whatsoever. Embedded applications come to mind as an obvious example.
gollark: Oh, wait, better idea.
gollark: Hey, I *said* (GNU[+/])Linux, isn't that good enough for you, Stallman?!
gollark: Yep!
