Boys appear for High School Leaving Certificate (class 10 exam) under the Board of Secondary Education, Assam and Higher Secondary School Leaving Certificate (equivalent to class 12) under Assam Higher Secondary Education Council.In 1867, George Williamson, a senior administrative officer donated Rs. one lakh, for the propagation of technical education at Jorhat and Golaghat. With that donation, Williamson Artizan School was established at Jorhat in 1876 with eight students. A high school as per Govt. Policy was established at Kohima, which is a district headquarters. But the school had closed for the want of students. On the other hand, there was a persistent demand for a high school at Jorhat and hence the Kohima High School was shifted to Jorhat in 1883 and was amalgamated with Williamson School. The school is now best known as Jorhat Govt. Boys' Higher Secondary and Multipurpose School.
