About Us
Before 1962, the only High School in Tirurangadi Niyojaka Mandalam was BEMHS Parappanangadi. And the other high school existed nearby was Chaliyam Umbichi Haji High School. As the students of Vallikunnu had to travel 10 km to access their school there came an urgent demand for a new school nearby. So in 1962, MVHSS which was 7 km away from northern part of Vallikunnu Panchayat was built up.
Even though free land was offered for setting up a new school in the northern part, the dream remained unfulfilled until Shri. A. P. Balakrishnan came forward offering his land to satiate his village’s far off dream. So a committee was formed in 1976 and Sri. P.I.G Menon became the secretary of the committee. The committee along with the Shri. M. V. Koyakutty Sahib (Vice President of Vallikunnu Panchayat) approached Shri. Aukhadar Kutty Naha (MLA and Minister of the state) for approval of the same. Thus in 1976, the dream school came into being and it became the second high school in the Panchayat.
The School was named “Chandan Brothers High School”. The Name ‘Chandan Brothers’ was proposed by Shri A. P. Mamukutty, father of School Manager Shri A. P. Balakrishnan. Being the eldest among the three brothers Chandan, Mamukutty and Appu, Chandan’s name was proposed. The northern part of the Vallikunnu is surrounded by water and the conveyance was very difficult in those time. So the construction of school became a tedious one as the building materials were conveyed by head loads
The School was inaugurated on 20th of May 1976 by Honorable Minister of the State, Shri Aukhadar Kutty Naha by accepting the TC of Mr. Kaipurath Bhasi from his brother Mr. Kaipurath Raman. Shri. Chaudhary, District Collector of Malappuram presided over the function. The presence of eminent personalities of the locality such as Shri. M. R. Velayudhan (Committee Convener), Shri. P. I. G Menon, Shri. M. V. Koyakutty Sahib, Shri K. P. Govindhankutty Nair, Shri V. S. Krishnan, Shri A. Kunhahammed blessed the auspicious occasion. The school started with 5 rooms for class 8, 217 students and 8 well experienced teachers. Mr. M. R. Velayudhan became our first Headmaster.
In 1977, the first SSLC batch was started with 68 students, who were transferred from other school in and around Vallikunnu. Mr. A. P. Raveendran was appointed as Clerk. Mr. P. Chandrasekharan, Mr. M. V. Kunhahammed were the other non-teaching staffs. Additional teaching staffs were added during the year. The first SSLC batch came out with 63 % result which was the top result of the district at that time.
In 1983, the headmaster Mr. M. R. Velayudhan retired after rendering 7 years of service and Mr. E. Neelakandan was then promoted as the new headmaster..
The school acquired new name “Chandan Brothers Higher Secondary School” with the approval of Higher Secondary in the year 1998. The Higher Secondary Block was named “A. P. Raveendran Memorial Building” to commemorate Shri. A. P. Raveendran, the former clerk and the eldest son of the manager who lost his life in thunder lightning while engaging a repair work at school. On 10th of August 1998, the Higher Secondary was inaugurated by honorable Member of Parliament Smt. A. K. Premajam presided by honorable MLA Shri. Kutty Ahammed Kutty. Mr. E. Neelakandan was promoted as the first Principal of CBHSS.
Mr. E. Neelakandan, the Principal became the pride to the school and the panchayat by receiving a National Award for the best outstanding teacher on September 5, 2000. He received the award from honorable President of India, Shri. K. R. Narayananan at Delhi Vigyan Bhavan. It was a public recognition conferred upon him for the valuable social services rendered to the community. He was a person who dedicated his entire life for the welfare of the students and for the panchayat. His interest in the student’s curricular as well as co-curricular activities such as arts and sports etc. was praise worthy and unique aspect. On 30th November 2000 the eminent teacher, who was honored by all retired from his service.
