About Nichols

Our History

Nichols Higher Secondary is a co-educational institution run by the Guwahati Baptist Church in the name of Miss. Ethel E. Nichols, a retired American Missionary, who had spent forty years of her life in Assam, mostly in Guwahati, in the field of education and had contributed a generous gift for its establishment.

A Legacy of Education

Founded in 1967, our school began with a simple mission — to provide quality education that nurtures young minds and builds responsible citizens. What started as a small institution with just a handful of students and teachers has now grown into a thriving learning community with state-of-the-art facilities, dedicated staff, and a legacy of excellence spanning over 50 years.

Over the decades, our school has stood as a beacon of knowledge, discipline, and values. Generations of students have passed through our gates, carrying with them the lessons learned here into diverse fields of achievement — from academics and sports to culture and leadership.

Our alumni network, spread across the globe, continues to bring pride to the institution, reflecting the school’s unwavering commitment to shaping futures. Today, we honor the vision of our founders by embracing innovation in education while preserving the traditions that define our identity.

Our Humble Beginnings

The school first opened its doors in an old mission bungalow at the Council of Baptist Churches in North-East India (CBCNEI) premises in Panbazar, Guwahati. Under the leadership of its first Headmistress, Miss Constance Anbu, the school began its journey, initially catering to primary-level students. This modest start laid the foundation for the institution it is today.

Growth and Transformation

In 1975, Nichols Higher Secondary School relocated from its Panbazar site to its current, expansive premises. This move marked a significant milestone in the school's development. Since then, the institution has steadily grown from a primary school into a comprehensive Higher Secondary School, offering a full range of educational programs. The school now boasts its own dedicated campus, complete with a spacious playground, providing an ideal environment for learning and development.
