Founder Rector
Founder Principal
Our Founder Principal, Mrs. Aparajita Saxena, and our founder rector, the late Mr. S.K. Saxena, were the true pioneers of English-medium education in Burdwan. Once upon a time, these two stalwarts met, and their ideals and noble principles amalgamated, giving rise to the sacred edifice named HOLY ROCK SCHOOL, an institution devoted to enlightening the souls of all its students.
Words fall short when it comes to describing the two great educationists, Mr. S.K. Saxena and Ms. Aparajita Saxena. They, along with the then District Magistrate of Burdwan, the late Mr. K.P.A. Menon, founded the first English-medium school in Burdwan, which later came to be known as St. Xavier's School of Burdwan. After finishing their innings at St. Xavier's, they embarked on uncharted paths to build an altar, a temple of learning based on the ideals of Swami Vivekananda. HOLY ROCK, the institution where dreams come into reality, was conceived out of a dream to impart quality education to children today, tomorrow, and always and to make their future bright. They aimed at bringing about holistic development in each individual, inculcating moral values and guiding students through the dark corridors of life. These two pioneers awakened the slumbering souls of many who would otherwise have perished.
This sapling was planted 40 years ago, in the year 1982. After enduring many storms, it still stands erect and firm in its resolve.
The onward march of the school suddenly got a big jolt when one of its founders, Mr. S.K. Saxena, left for his heavenly abode.
But the show must go on. Life will move on. Keeping his noble ideals and principles in mind, the journey of the school will continue, forever inspiring generations to come.
