History

John spoke up, “master, we saw a man casting out devils In your name and because he is not with us, we tried to stop him.” Jesus said to him, “you must not stop him, anyone who is not against you is with you.  Something similar happened in the town of Chitradurga back in 1950’s.  The same spirit of God,” who inspired our foundresses in Cantaous in 1882 blew over the hills of Chitradurga town.  The call originated from a prominent convent educated,  Hindu lady Mrs Sudha T. V Reddy the wife of T V Reddy,  the Deputy Commissioner of Chitradurga district they were the direct instrument in bringing the sisters to this semi-arid land in the year 1956.

Smt. Sudha T V Reddy wife of Sri T V Reddy, The Deputy Commissioner of Chitradurga, had immense pleasure of starting Convent school. She completed her studies from Good Shepherd Convent School, Bangalore. Inspired by the Life style of sisters, their vision, sacrifice, Service mind and faith in God Smt. Sudha T V Reddy initiated the plan to build a Convent school in Chitradurga in the year 1956 so that it is helpful for the citizens of Chitradurga.

So it was then that the Nursery school in the Mahila Samaj was started. The sisters started the mission on 2nd February 1956. The privilege foundresses to shoulder this new enterprise were Sr Mary Michael B, Veronica Rodriguez and Mary Fernandez.

As luck would have it, the people of Chitradurga rallied together and secured a plot of land from the Deputy Commissioner’s compound for the convent and school. Thus, the primary and the middle school were opened successively.  Sr Michael was the headmistress of the primary school.

As in the foundation of Cantaous, the hardships of the early days in Chitradurga have brought abundant blessings on this house.

St Joseph’s English Higher Primary School was awarded with this Certificate
