History

In 1963, the Brothers of St Patrick(Patrician Brothers) opened a school call Mount St. Mary's in the capital of India on the invitation of the Army. It started with four brothers, six teachers and 85 students. The first principal was Bro. E.J Dunne who was in charge of the school till January 1969. The foundation stone was laid on the 6th of January 1963, by General Bhagwati Singh, who was at that time G.O.C of Delhi Area,New Delhi.

The school was first housed in eight tents(with seven classes)- there were only two students in the seventh standard. The building work started immediately, and the entire school moved into the building in July 1963. Two floors were completed in December 1963. This building was however not complete as the number of students were increasing and a Science Block was required. The staff and students organised fetes in 1966 and 1968, which brought in enough money to help complete the building.
