In 1867, George Williamson, a senior administrative officer donated Rs. one lakh, for the propagation of technical education at Jorhat and Golaghat. With that donation, Williamson Artizan School was established at Jorhat in 1876 with eight students. A high school as per government policy was established at Kohima, which is a district headquarters. However, the school had closed for the want of students. There was demand for a high school at Jorhat and hence the Kohima High School was shifted to Jorhat in 1883 and was amalgamated with Williamson School. The school is now best known as Jorhat Govt. Boys' Higher Secondary and Multipurpose School.
