History
The catholic Diocese of Gorakhpur started the St.Thomas School, affiliated to ICSE/ISC Board, New Delhi in 1988 with 20 students on roll and two teaching staff in view of imparting quality education to the people around the locality of Khalilabad, in a rented premise at Shyam Bazar thirty one years back. On 31 st July Rt. Rev. Bp. Dominic Kokkat CST inaugurated the school by lighting the lamp in the presence of fathers, sisters and the people of the locality. Rev. Fr. Dominic Perumpanani CST was the pioneer in this mission.
In 2003, the school got permanent affiliation from the Council and was upgraded to the Inter level.
We commenced the inter classes in the year 2004. After many years of constant search we were able to get a piece of land at Nedula and foundation was laid for the higher section by His Excellency Most Rev. Bishop Dominic Kokkat CST. After nine years of dedicated service, Fr. Joseph was transferred to take charge of his new mission and the school was entrusted to the care of Fr. Benny Koikkakudiyil who guided the institution for one year. In 2005 July Fr. Sibichan Kakkaniyil was appointed as the principal. In 2007 the school was fortunate to avail the service of Fr. Sijo Maniparambil as Vice- Principal.
The year 2007 was the bi-decennial year of the school and school celebrated its 20 years of existence and service to the people of this locality in a colourful way.
In 2012 July Fr. Joshy Vettickal was appointed as the principal and Fr.Alex Puthemparambil as Vice-Principal.
