History
In the late 1940s, Bihar the apostolic Carmel sisters had made their mark in women's education by establishing a women's college at Patna, so some prominent Hazaribagh residents approached the sisters to open a school at Hazaribagh. In response, a meeting was held on 14 March, at the residence of Rai saheb S.N Sahay, retired deputy collector of Hazaribagh. Among those present at this meeting were principal of Patna women's college, mother Theodosia and superior general of apostolic Carmel, mother Sylvia, Fr.E.De meulder Sj parish priest and Mr. Radha Govind Prasad, secretary of Bihar school, Hazaribagh. The decision was to open a new Carmel school. It would be situated on the grounds owned by the Catholic Church of Hazaribagh. On 15 June 1949, they opened Carmel girls, with sister Rita as the first supervisor. Carmel girls school commenced classes on 14 July 1949 with 37 pupils on roll.
