User:Abdulwahab.119/Askhia Progressive Public High School

Askhia Progressive Public High School was started by Mr. Rashid Ahmed in the year 2000. It started off with only four students and few teachers, the loving care of the founder and the untiring efforts of the teachers has led the school to achieve the heights that it is today, at first Askhia Progressive Public High School was located in the heart of Mirpurkhas. Then, as the year glided by the strength of the school also began to increase and this demanded sufficient amount of space and other facilities for the proper upbringing of the students. As the need arose, Mr. Rashid Ahmed launched the campus-2 at Jamnadas colony Mirpurkhas in the year 2003 and campus -3 at satellite town  in the year of 2007,   There on began the construction work of a new school building. The completion of new school building was definitely not an easy task but today we have a full fledge two storied buildings showing off its elegance and grandness with its head held high. The school is equipped with all the facilities that are necessary to impart quality education to the students. To name a few – Science Laboratories (Physics, Chemistry & Biology), A library, Computer Education big and airy classrooms with comfortable desk and chairs, a big playground etc. have added to the overall development of a child and to view at things from a wider perspective. At present we are having well trained and experience teaching staff who are working together in harmony under able and fruitful guidance of the principal Mr. Rashid Ahmed. Overwhelming response since it can be witnessed from its number of students that is increasing day by day. For the convenience of the students staying at far off places, school buses are allotted. Therefore, from the initial numbers of four students to a number of approximately 800 students at present is obviously an achievement for the school. The utmost dedication and hard work of the management, Principal, teachers and the best effort of the students have brought laurels to the school in every sphere. Beside academic activities great encouragement is given to the students in the field of co-curricular activities. Throughout these years, the interest and spirit of the students are kept up with the engaging competitions like sports, quiz, painting, inter-class debate and speech competition’s etc. At present, the overall performance of the school is excellence at per I feel proud to mention here that our school is counted among the best schools of Mirpurkhas.
