Aitzaz Hasan Shaheed High School

Aitzaz Hasan Shaheed High School, formerly Government High School Ibrahim Zai, is a government secondary school in the community of Hangu,[1] within Hangu District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.[2]

The school gained fame after Aitzaz Hasan - a 15-year-old student of this school tackled a suicide bomber at the entrance gates of the school on January 6, 2014, and was fatally injured.[2] He later died in the hospital. Aitzaz's sacrifice saved the lives of hundreds of students of the school.

On January 14, the chief minister's representatives announced that the school was renamed to Aitzaz Hasan Shaheed High School.[3]
