Sensing the need of the time, a hostel for the engineering students as well as for the degree college students was started in the year 1996. There were many students who took admission initially in our hostel as well as in the boarding. Slowly the local people started offering facilities attached to their residence for 'Paying Guests'. Many girls from our hostel started moving into such a set up as 'paying guests' as they could get the comforts of single room system and enjoy much freedom. So the number in the Holy Cross hostel started to decline. Eventually, the hostel for the engineering students ended in its inevitable closure in the year 1999

We then took time to discern as to what suitable activity we could initiate which would meet the need of the place. As a result of the discerning search we arrived at the decision to convert the hostel space into an English medium school which we began in 2003.
