History

Ahlone Upper 4 (Ahlone Cushion School) was a prominent school in the early Colonial Era. Cushion School had only 17 students when the American Baptist Mission established the United Christian High School on May 28, 1872. In 1894, the University of Calcutta began teaching undergraduate exams and was renamed Baptist College. In 1909, BA was promoted. The school is also known as Cushion High School after its principal, Mr. JN Cushing (1894-1906).[4]
