St. Mary’s H S S Maruthomkara
St. Mary’s Higher Secondary School Maruthomkara is situated in Maruthomkara, a village of verdant beauty in the foothills of Wayanad mountain ranges to the north east of Kozhikode district. The origins of this school is linked to the historic Christian migration to Maruthomkara in the early twentieth century. While they braved the hazards of a wild terrain , they had the visionary zeal to start a school which they believed would lay the foundation for all future cultural, social and economic growth and progress of this region. The result of their work stands today as a land of agricultural and material prosperity and a school with newly built buildings and other infrastructure to suit the modern needs. The prosperity that one sees in this region is the result of the quality education imparted to the generations of the village folk through the past century. The facts that many of the socially backward classes has come up the social ladder and are well settled shows that the school has served its purpose and that the vision of its forefathers has borne fruit.
Though the school started as a primary school in 1937’ it soon progressed to a high school in 1957 under the able leadership of Rev. Fr. Everistus. Later in 2010, the school was raised to a higher secondary with the efforts of the then manager Rev. Fr. Thomas Vattottutharappel.
