Rajagiri at a glance - Milestones

The school grew in size and stature with the passage of time. Young Rajagiri was fondly looked after by parents Gregory Karotemprel (presently the Bishop of Rajkot) and Aaron Vithayathil and they are known as the pioneers of the school. The late Mr.Manjooran being the retired headmaster of St.Alberts School brought a wealth of knowledge and experience to the school during its inception while he served as headmaster (1964-1976). The administrative function was carried out by the pioneer fathers.
