Mymensingh Zilla School (MZS) is a boys' public secondary school in Mymensingh, Bangladesh.^[1]^[2] The school was established as Hardinge School during the British Raj in 1846 and got the name Mymensingh Zilla School on 3 November 1853.^[3]^[4]

The school was started as an English medium back in 1846. At present, it is a Bangla medium school and the medium of instruction is Bengali.^[5] Since 1991, the school has been running two shifts, Morning and Day. The Morning shift starts at 7:30 am and ends at 12:00 pm. The Day shift starts at 12:30 pm and ends at 5:30 pm. The school has two nearby campuses: one is meant for academic and administrative buildings while the other is for school hostel which is currently not in use for accommodation of the students but has other usages.^[6]

History

In 1846, it started as an English medium school called 'Hardinge School' at Mr. F. B. Camp's, the then Deputy Collector of the East India Company. On 3 November 1853, it started as a full-fledged English medium school near Kachari (present Laboratory School). However, it is no longer an English medium one; it follows the national curriculum of Bangladesh and the medium of instruction is Bengali. Bhagawan Chandra Bose, the father of scientist Jagadish Chandra Bose, was the first headmaster of the school.^[7]

It was called multilateral pilot school during the time of first Deputy Commissioner of Mymensingh, S.M.A Kajmi, by the government. The main and present school structures were built in 1912. In 1965, the school compound was designed and reformed by an American science teacher, Mr. Dril.^[7]

The school had been used as a base of the British Army during World War II. It was also used as a training camp for freedom fighters during Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971. And more than 40 students sacrificed their lives, that time, fighting against the Pakistan Army.^[7]

On 3 March 1981, police fired tear-gas to subdue rioting Mymensingh Zilla School students. Sixty people were injured in the clash, which began when the students attempted to reoccupy part of their school hostel building that the government had recently given over to an adjacent primary training institute.^[8]^[9]

Admission

Usually, aspirants of 2nd and 5th grade apply by December to sit for the admission test. Only the qualified aspirants get opportunity to be admitted to 3rd and 6th grade respectively.^{[citation needed]}

Academics

The school provides education from the third through the tenth grade. Upon successful completion of the eighth grade, students have to choose to be in either the science or business studies stream. However, joining science stream is contingent upon marks obtained in mathematics and general science in Junior School Certificate examination. Since the ninth grade the whole student body, thus, gets separated into two groups: Science and Business Studies. Upon successful completion of the tenth grade the students are allowed to sit for the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) examination.^{[citation needed]}
