History

Modern High School for Girls was founded by Mrs. B.M. Birla on January 3, 1952. The school was set up at 28, Camac Street with Mrs. Violet Clarke as the first Principal. In 1953, the senior school moved to a new location 33, Theatre Road (now Shakespeare Sarani), Calcutta (now Kolkata). The junior school remained at the same location.

The foundation stone for the present school building was laid by the Chief Minister of West Bengal, Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy on December 9, 1957, and in March 1960, the senior school was transferred to the present building at 78, Syed Amir Ali Avenue.

Mrs. Clarke was followed by Mrs Robeiro during the early 1660s, followed by Mrs. Pastakia from 1963-1965. Mrs I.L. Wilson de Roze was Headmistress for the longest period, from 1965-2000. The present Principal, Mrs. D. Kar, joined in April, 2000.
