The Model Higher Secondary School is a co-ed school run by the Madhya Pradesh Board of Secondary Education in Bhopal, India.
History
The Model HS School was established in 1960.[2] It was brought under the administration of the Madhya Pradesh Board of Secondary Education in 1964.
Model High has been a center of student politics in Bhopal since its early years. Shivraj Singh Chauhan, the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, was the president of the school's students union in the 1970s.[3] In 2009, while protesting against Rahul Gandhi's comments on serial blasts in Mumbai, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) activists came to Model school and purchased an admission form for him. They requested the school to impart him "primary education" so he would not make "immature comments".[4]
Campus
The school's campus is located in the South Tatya Tope Nagar, near the Jawahar Chowk City Bus Station. It has a large playground located along the Bhadbhada Road. Some of the junior teams representing the Bhopal District are trained here.[5] The TT Nagar Sport Complex is also located near the school.
The campus hosts several state-level events. On 15 November 2010, the former President of India, A. P. J. Abdul Kalam visited the school to inaugurate the INSPIRE Award science exhibition.[6] In 2012, the school audiotorium, along with Gandhi Bhavan and Marshal Arts Hall in TT Nagar Stadium, hosted the 17th State Youth Festival.[7]
Academics

Merit scholarship programs are offered to students at all the levels. The students belonging to the scheduled castes and scheduled tribes are offered fee concessions.
