Both levels were recognized by the Department of Education on June 11, 1956 (Recognition No.179 s.1956). The same Grade V1 pupils were the first batch to graduate in high school with the dual curricula - academics and technical. Wood working, Graphic Arts, Automotive, Electrical Technology, Electronics Technology and Industrial Drafting were introduced to the high school students in the succeeding years.
