Gul Muhammad Adamjee, Managing Director of Mehern Jute Mills Limited
at Karachi, Pakistan established Adamjee Cantonment School in early
1960. Begum Gul Muhammad Adamjee laid down the foundation stone in
January 1958. The main building was completed in January 1960. The
then President of Pakistan Field Marshal Mohammad Ayub Khan wanted to
establish a quality institution which led to the birth of Adamjee
Cantonment School. The institution was later renamed as Adamjee
Cantonment College. At present it is named as Adamjee Cantonment Public
School. The school and the college were in the same building until
1985. Now the school and college are separate entities and are situated
within the same campus but in different buildings. The
principal is the head of the school administrative body. Historically,
the principals were Lt. Colonel level military officers from the Army
Education Corp. However, many civilians have served as principals as
well. The following of a military style code of conduct provides a good
and peaceful environment for education. The original building of
the school is now where the 'Adamjee Cantonment College' stands. The
school was separated in 1995 and was made totally an independent
institution. Now, this school enjoys a high reputation for its superior
quality education and discipline. |
