Elenthikara High School
Elenthikara High School, near North Paravur, has a history. When Sree Narayana Guru visited this place he exhorted the people on the need for education and educational institutions. Inspired by his words Dr. C. S. Sankaran, a homeopath, built a school on his ancestral property in 1948. He later upgraded it into a high school in 1952. When there was a need for a proper playground the area around was cleared. Today this school and its playground houses precious historical evidence of a lost culture.
