Foreword
There is a shortage of good schools and colleges in Nepal. As a result, large numbers of Nepali boys and girls go to India and other countries of their education, even for primary education, at great expense and with the resultant outflow of scarce foreign exchange. The parents and guardians of these children cannot be blamed as they have no choice if their children or words have to receive good education. A great need had arisen in Nepal for more quality schools and colleges so that this can be controlled, if not halted. With this aim in view, some ex-students of Mount Herman School, Darjeeling of the 1947-1952 period decided to open the Fern Hill Pre-Primary School in January 1981. The name has been subsequently been changed to Him Shikhar to give it a Nepali name. The school has now been in existence for 20 years. During these years, the school has endeavored to provide modern education with emphasis on moral values and discipline in an appropriate and healthy environment. If some success towards this objective can be claimed, credit must be given to the staff of the school who have been specially selected for their motivation and competence. Further progress in all activities of The School is looked for, so that through the coordinated efforts of all concerned, this school establishes itself into a model school in the coming years in keeping with its name.
