Modern High School was established in July 1959. The school was founded by Syed Imaduddin Qadri. The present correspondent of Modern High School is Smt. Rabia Begum.
Admissions
Though the school is a minority institution, its admission is open to all students irrespective of caste, creed, religion or gender. For admission into Kindergarten, the school follows an admission policy. Every year in January, one of the three schools in rotation conducts the admissions procedure for Kindergarten which involves an interview of the student and the parents. The number of students who apply for admission far exceeds the number of positions available and hence it is a very competitive process. Students are allowed to state their choice among the three schools but their choice is not guaranteed. A twenty-percent quota is generally reserved for economically backward students.
Academics
Divisions
The school has four academic divisions- Pre-primary, Primary, Middle and Senior. The pre-primary division has four sections each of lower and upper Kindergarten. The primary division has four sections each of Classes I to III. The pre-primary and primary divisions are housed in one campus, commonly called the "Primary School" The Middle school has four sections each of Classes IV to VII and the High School has four sections each of Classes VIII to X. Both the Middle school and High School are housed in another building, commonly called the "High School Campus". The High School Campus and the Primary Campus are near one another on the same road.
Exams
The academic year starts mid-June and ends in early April and is divided into three quarters. Examinations are held at the end of every quarter and every month. At the end of Class X, the students take the State Government administered Secondary School Certificate Examination. At the end of Class VII also, students have to take a State Government administered exam. The school has displayed good performance in the public exams and has in several occasions had 100% pass results.
Houses
The school follows a House system. The student body is split into four houses with an aim to promote competition among the students.
5 September of every year is celebrated as Teachers' Day all over India in the memory of former President Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. In what is probably the most festive celebration of the year, students show their appreciation to their teachers. Sports and games are held for the teachers and prizes are given away.
