overview

  • The Old Students Association of The High Range School, gets it name from the french word 'Camaraderie', which means a feeling of friendliness towards people with whom you share experiences. Camaraderie has and will continue to stand by its name in years to come!
  • Since its inception in the year 1998, Camaraderie has been very active in terms of giving back to the School whatever its members learnt from it. It has promoted a sense of attachment amongst all the Old & Ex-students. The association keeps a record of all activities, achievements and latest whereabouts of all its members and renders advice, especially to out-going students about the challenges and problems of the material world.
  • It has infact given support in strengthening and improving the school in various spheres and especially this year, with its alma mater completing 25 golden years of its existence, has shown its full support by gifting a website to its Dear Old School. The OSA has funded the entire development and hosting of the school website.
