St. Paul's Matriculation Higher Secondary School
St. Paul's Matriculation Higher Secondary School is an all-boys Catholic secondary school in Neyveli, Tamil Nadu, India. The school was founded in 1972[1] by Rev. Fr. John Duraisamy, who requested the Archbishop of Pondy Cuddalore to open an all-boys English-language school in Neyveli. St.Paul's Matriculation Higher Secondary School is a brother institution of St.Joseph's of Cluny, Neyveli. St.Joseph's of Cluny started on 15 July 1968, swelled into 2300 students by 1975, with only VII standards. The segregation of the boys in a separate school was very keenly felt, and the time, in the providence of God, was not yet ripe. The challenge of opening this boys' school was accepted by the then Archbishop of Pondicherry and Cuddalore on 29 June 1977 and was inaugurated by MR. Radhakrishnan, the Deputy Chief Personnel Manager of Neyveli Lignite Corporation. Since then the school has grown into a Higher Secondary School with a strength of more than 3800 students. The institution has completed 40 years of service in the field of education and in developing the people in and around Neyveli.
