The European Roman Catholic missionaries of Capuchin, Patrician and Maarist order travelled thousands of miles facing untold hurdles to Indo-Pakistan Sub Continent with great zeal and devotion to enlighten it with modern education. They had to face unlimited ordeals for their sacred mission. The Maarist Fathers of Ireland planted an educational tree which branched out and its fruit and odour vehemently affected India and Pakistan since 1892. It has produced thousands of high-ranking celebrities in all fields of life. This institution is proud of Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Dr. Qadeer Ahmed, the Father of Nuclear Bomb in Pakistan, Group Captain (Retired) Cecil Chaudhry, Indo-Pak war hero and ex-principal of this institution, Major Shabir Sharif, Nishan-e-Haider, Salman Taseer, Governor Punjab, Imran Zaka member Junior Hockey team of Pakistan and last but not the least Dr. Lawrence John Saldanha, Arch Bishop of the Lahore Diocese and Chairman of the Board of Governors. The educational icons like Miss Dulcie Fraser, Mr. A. Lewis, Mr. N. B. Chughtai, Mrs S. K Ernest, Mrs A. Latif, Mr. M. Munir and Mrs. V. Suleman who are quenching the educational thirst of the Lahorites for decades and Mr. Maqbool Rehmat, editor of the Anthonian and O Level textbook-writer of Pakistan Studies, Urdu and Pakistan Atlas.
The School is imparting quality education at a very low fee structure. The results in Matriculation, Intermediate, O and A Level remain outstanding. Our O level students Muhammad Usman and Muhammad Faizan have topped first in Mathematics and Physics in the whole world, because of highly devoted and committed faculty members, in 2006. Mr. Muhammad Saqlain Raza Bukhari secured 803 marks in the Matriculation examination held in 2008.
I welcome all new students who will enter the portals of this great institution to seek knowledge with virtue and go forward to face the challenges of life with courage and fortitude.
I am extremely grateful to Almighty God for all his blessings and graces, which He has bestowed upon me. I sincerely hope and pray that He gives me courage and fortitude to carry out this great responsibility with wisdom, diligence and determination to face the difficulties of life, throughout my career here as Principal of this prestigious institution for the cause of education.
