Sir Jehangir H. C. Jehangir
Chairman

It is with great pride that we celebrate the Silver Anniversary of the Guzder English Medium School. Longevity and continuity are hallmarks of our Institution, Sir C.J. New High Trust Group of Schools, which was founded more than 160 years ago. With equal pride we celebrate the Golden Anniversary of Sir C.J. New High School Primary Section.

The magnanimous donation of Mr. Jamshed Guzder 25 years ago was a particularly significant landmark in Gandevi and its environs, as the region was lacking a quality English medium school. To say that the school, still under the able leadership of its Principal, Ms Hiral Naik has grown to be the most reputed English medium school in the region is an understatement.

We greatly miss the pillars of our Schools, Ms Kumudben Joshi, Mr. Mahavirbhai Joshi, Mr. Rajnikantbhai Chokshi and Mr. Akshay Desai. Without their passionate and loving nurturing in its early years, the Guzder English Medium School could not have been what it is today.

With its foundation laid in 1999 at the hands of its Benefactor, Mr. Jamshed Guzder, the school commenced operations in 2000 with merely four classes, barely a handful of passionately enthusiastic staff and 99 equally enthusiastic students. Today, twenty-five years later, the school stands at 1,000 students, a large number of staff and expanding buildings. Though it has grown considerably from its humble beginnings to what it is today, it is pertinent to state that the passion and enthusiasm continues with the undiminished intensity as on the first day.

The school has been blessed by unwaveringly sticking to and growing its core values of academic excellence, integrity and character building to create generation after generation of vibrant youngsters with good, rounded characters with the ability to contribute to Nation Building. Our students have done the school proud by distinguishing themselves in many fields all over the world. For this we continue to be ever grateful to our principal, staff, management, students, parents and, not least, our departed patrons.

Looking ahead, we plan to take the Guzder English Medium School to the next level by introducing newer, state of the art curricula and activities to further produce generations of students to be relevant to contribute significantly in an ever-evolving environment. Given the impeccable track record over the last twenty-five years of the school, we have no doubt that it will evolve with the times and maintain its position in the forefront of English medium education and make Gandevi a magnet for attracting students from increasing areas of the region.
