WELCOME TO ST.PAUL’S ENGLISH MEDIUM HIGH SCHOOL, KOVUR
Kovur is a small Town, located 8 kilometers North of Nellore City, Andhra Pradesh. On February 19, 1980, the first community of Bethlemite sisters arrived here. They were housed in St. Paul’s English Medium School, which was then under the management of Nellore Diocese. The Bethlemite sisters dedicated their lives to live the Gospel values as set before them through the charism and spirituality of their Founders, Holy Brother Pedro Betancourt and Blessed Mother Maria Encarnacion Rosal. The sisters devoted themselves to work among the people here to better their lives and to preserve their hopes of a bright future, by engaging themselves in the education ministry for the local children.
There was, then, no other school in the locality, with English language, as medium of instruction. At the time of the handover of the management of the school to the Bethlemite sisters, only a few children were attending the school and were enrolled in pre-KG, LKG, UKG and up to the 3rd standard. Through their strident and dedicated efforts, the Bethlemite sisters succeeded in raising it to a High School. Since the old building could not accommodate the increasing numbers, it was demolished and, in 1993, a new building was constructed in its place. Over the years, many additions were made to the existing structure. The imposing two storied and two winged building has all the latest facilities. The fore-ground is used as an assembly area and a spacious playground.
