Situated at the heart of Irinjalakuda, the cultural capital of Thrissur, Don Bosco School is at the peak of its success, celebrating the diamond jubilee and marching steadily with the motto “To provide quality and relevant education to all.”
The tiny seed that blossomed into the present magnificent institution known as Don Bosco, Irinjalakuda was planted in March 1962 when Fr. John Med, the Provincial of the Salesians of Don Bosco in South India came from Madras at the invitation of the Bishop of Thrissur, Rt. Rev. Dr. George Alapatt to take the preliminary steps for the establishment of a Don Bosco institution. On 6th May 1962 the Government of Kerala sanctioned Don Bosco High School, as an unaided but recognized School. The school began in a shed which was provided free of rent in the adjacent plot of land through the generosity of Mr. M. P. Kochudevassy with 130 students and 4 teachers. It was dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus on 29th June.The lessons were given to the students both in English and Malayalam. As the strength of the staff members as well as the students increased, the classes were shifted from the thatched shed to the new building which was blessed by Rev.Fr. Antony Thekkeniath, the Vicar of St. George Forane Church on 11th October. Rev. Fr. Dhwarairaj Sdb was appointed as the first Rector and Headmaster of the institution.
