History

The school is named after prominent philanthropist Ray Bahadur Aparnacharan Dey. But behind the establishment of the school, Mr. Rajanikanth Biswas & his two friends Mr. Kiranchandra Das & anti-British revolutionist Ananta Singh's father Mr. Golap Chandra Singh had contributed most. Infact they came forward to build the school at the first place. Granting the request of Mr. Rajanikanth Biswas & his two friends, Mr. Ray Bahadur Aparnacharan Dey donated that time more than ten thousand rupees to purchase the land for the school.[1] At the beginning of its schooling program, the school started as a middle primary school but the school moved up to 4th, 5th & 10th grades gradually later. The first female anti-British revolutionist martyr of Chittagong district Pritilata Waddedar was appointed as headmistress in the school for some years.
