Proud School

Today morning, I met the Principal of Sacred Heart School, Daltonganj where quite a many of the children of our staff study. She was quite elated over the success that her wards achieved in the tenth standard exams.

Situated in Chianki which is approximately 30 kilometers from NJH, the school has been a blessing to the Palamu region in spite of very trying situations. 

And a big relief to me as one major concern for families like us is about schooling our kids end up doing when parents such as us respond to a challenge to serve in a rural area.

I get quite a few queries from potential colleagues about schooling in NJH. I hope this would encourage them.

Of the 100 students who enrolled in the 10^th standard during the last academic year, the following are the marks that they received. Of course, all of them passed.

Total percentile	Number of students
90% and above	15
80% to 89%	29
70% to 79%	35
60% to 69%	17
50% to 59%	4

The highest percentage was 95.4%. And of the subjects, the following are the highest marks obtained by students of the school.

Subject	Highest mark
Mathematics	100%
History	94%
Economics& Commerce	99%
English	92%
Hindi	95%

I’m sure that the above two tables give a good description of the blessing we have in the form of the Sacred Heart School for our kids. Please spread the word.
