Significance

Though the school was started as Kannada medium from class 1 to class 7 in the beginning, the school management which is Most Holy Redeemer Church, Belthangady has made many developments and has started additional institutions.

In 2005, the school management has started new English medium school called Holy Redeemer Higher Primary School. This school was unaided by Government of Karnataka.[5]

Also in 2012, the parish started Holy Redeemer High School with English as medium of instruction.[6] Due to this there was a conflict between parish committee and the management of St. Theresa High School, Belthangady which is run by nuns of Ursuline Franciscan Congregation.
