History

In the early 16th century, an Anglo-Indian school was established as part of the Holy Rosary Church. It is one of the oldest schools in the region. It was recognized in 1854 and upgraded from a Middle School to a High School in 1941. In 2000, a further higher secondary section was added.[1]

This English medium school was initially known as European School and Catholic Middle School. In 1922, Italian missionary Father John Baptist Galanta transformed the European school to an Indian middle school.

Until September 1939, Father Galanta was the headmaster and manager. Moorkoth Kumaran, a short story writer of early Malayalam literature, the municipal vice chairman of Thalassery during that period, and an eminent person in the social and political fields, was the first assistant until 30 April 1930. In October 1940 Sri. P. Kanari B.A.L.T was appointed as the headmaster. In this 3rd forum (Up to class 7th) school 166 students were enrolled. The service rented by P. P. Varid master, Vidwan Varghese Thalleketty, Britto teacher, Auseph master for the welfare of this school are ever memorable. 101 prominent citizens presented a memorandum in front of father Rodrigs.[2]

On 1 June 1941, St. Josephs Boys High School opened with 32 students. The school obtained a two-story building, library and laboratory. Father George Pathiyil was appointed as the headmaster of Saint Joseph's High School in 1952.
