History |
|
The school began as Church High School in the President's Estate in 1941. It was renamed to Naveen Bharat School in 1947, and finally moved to its present location on Mathura Road and was renamed as Delhi Public School in 1949.
The foundation stone of the school building was laid in 1956 by Dr.S. Radhakrishnan, the Vice-President of India, and the buildings were substantially complete by 1965 three years after Principal Din Dayal took over.
Mathura Road established itself as one of the leading public schools in New Delhi, both academically and in sports, with the student body drawn from the populations of Government officials' children and children of the then newly rising Punjabi refugee business community establishing itself in South Delhi.
By 1965, the school had moved into a three-storey building and by 1970 it had a student body of almost 3,000 students.
The school follows the Central Board of Secondary Education system and has continuous tests and assignments.
In 2007 it was rated as the third 'most respected secondary school' in India in a survey conducted by the Indian Market Research Bureau (IMRB) for the Deccan Herald newspaper.
The Rev. (Dr.) J. D. Tytler was the first principal of the school. He was followed by Dr. K. C. Khanna, and then, in 1962, by Mr. Din Dayal. The current principal is Mr. M. I. Hussain.
