About Us

The Phudmuri Presbyterian School is one of the oldest institutions in Khasi Jaintia Hills starting its humble beginning way back in 1899. But due to many constraints, the School continued as an L.P. School for so many years.
With the passing of time, the sponsoring body of the School which is the Phudmuri Presbyterian Church felt the need for upgrading the Lower Primary School to the Middle English School. The main objective of the School is to impart holistic education and to instruct students with the teachings from the word of God.
In the year 1988, the School got its Opening Permission from the Deputy Inspector of School, East Khasi Hills District under the headship of (L) Smti Dewbitis Lyngdoh. She retired in December 1994.
Over the years, there were problems for students in getting admission into well – established High Schools; therefore a need was felt to upgrade the School into the status of the Proceeding High School. As a result, the Managing Committee of the School unanimously resolved to upgrade the school from the 1995 academic session.
So the Proceeding High School was opened on the 15th February, 1995 and its Opening Permission was granted in the year 2001 by the Inspector of School, East Khasi Hills District under the leadership of Shrimati A. M. Tiewla. On the 5th December, 2001 the School got its Opening Permission for Class IX and Class X from the Inspector of School, East Khasi Hills District. It also got its recognition from the Meghalaya Board of School Education (MBOSE) on the 22nd February, 2006.
In the year 2017, the Managing Committee of the School has decided to upgrade the Secondary School to the Higher Secondary School due to the problems faced by many students in getting admission to Class XI. This is also as per the direction of the Meghalaya Board of School Education (MBOSE) regarding up gradation of Secondary Schools to the Higher Secondary Level. It was in the year, 2018, that the Higher Secondary Section for Class XI (Arts) Streams was opened. Consequently this year, 2020, is the 1st time the school has sent its students to appear the Higher Secondary School Leaving Certificate (HSLC) Examination academic session. At present seven teachers from the Secondary Section and four part – time teachers are teaching in the Higher Secondary Section.
