Among many of his former students are prominent personalities such as the former Vice President De.

IN OUR HEARTS FOREVER

We pay tribute to an exceptional father, friend, educationist and mentor who served the school with insight, focus, love and dedication to the very last breath of his life. He was a great visionary leader who transformed the school from its humble origins in 1994 to a giant academic centre of excellence.

What we witness today is the sacrifice, hard work and deliberate effort of a guru who carefully chose and led a team of like-minded people in moulding the success of his students.

The most difficult task for anyone is to give a tribute to one of the greatest educationists of our time. Dr. H. S. Gill will be remembered as a very polished and focused school leader of his generation.

In a span of twenty-six years, he presided over the transformation of our institution to a modern and world class E-learning centre with a global reputation for top results in academics and co-curricular activities. His dedication, kindness, love for learners, steadfastness in achieving desired goals and spirited belief that every student has a window of opportunity to be successful has challenged and inspired all.
