Lal Ded Memorial School is one of the oldest high schools in Srinagar, Jammu & Kashmir, India. It is located on the bank of the Jehlum River near 2nd Bridge Habba Kadal. The school is named after the saint-poet Lalleshwari, commonly known as Lal Ded, and was built in the colonial style with the use of local techniques, especially Kashmir wooden crafts. It was considered part of the architectural heritage of Kashmir.[1]
Houses
The student body is divided into four houses, represented by colours. Each student is assigned to one of these houses upon entry into school. The houses are:
- Green
- Pink
- Yellow
- Sky blue
The houses compete against each other in academic and sporting disciplines, each contributing towards house points. The house with the most points is declared the House Of The Year.
Demolition of building
The building was demolished in April 2009 by a private builder in order to construct a shopping complex at the site. A stay order was issued by the High Court after the building was demolished. The school has been transferred to a much smaller building in the area.[2]
