Principal's Message
A word from our school leadership

Welcome to St. Thomas Higher Secondary School, Kozhencherry.
Standing as a premier landmark of excellence for over 116 years, St. Thomas HSS is more than an institution—it is the heartbeat of Central Travancore’s academic and cultural heritage. From our humble beginnings in 1910, we have evolved into a powerhouse of learning that transcends the barriers of religion, caste, and economic status, championing a vision of prosperity for all.
We are the proud custodians of a legacy founded by the visionary Rev. C.P. Philipose (Ayirur Achen) and Rev. K.T. Thomas (Kurunthottical Achen). Their dream of "holistic enlightenment" has seen this school grow from a small local center into a globally recognized alma mater. Today, our alumni occupy the highest echelons of society worldwide—from industry leaders to spiritual pioneers—serving as the most brilliant milestones in our century-long journey.
At St. Thomas, we believe that education must keep pace with the future without losing its soul. In an era where technology can either empower or enslave, we stand as a fortress of value-based learning. We don't just equip our students with modern tools; we teach them to be masters of technology. By guiding our youth to navigate the distractions of the virtual world with moral clarity, we ensure they graduate not as "automated cogs," but as compassionate, empathetic leaders.
Our campus continues to be a vibrant ecosystem where tradition meets innovation. I invite you to partner with us as we continue to shape the thinkers, creators, and citizens who will illuminate our nation and the world.
With warm regards,
Suja Sara John
Principal, St. Thomas HSS
