History

This educational institution was established in 1902. A Minor School was started with 12 students at old Sandwip town by the distinguished persons on 12 April 1879. Within short time this school was changed to middle English school. Mr. J. D. Kargil, then magistrate of Noakhali visited Sandwip on behalf of the government on December, 1901. To expand higher education in Sandwip, he promoted the Middle English school as a secondary school. Mr. Kargil established the foundation of the school on 2 February 1902. The school was named after Mr. Kargil. Calcutta University allowed the students of the school to attend the Entrance examination. Shree Shachindra Guha was the first headmaster of the school. Calcutta University granted this institution permanently on 28 July 1908 and this exits till now. The school area was affected by the cyclone of 1960 and the school building was destroyed. Azam Khan, the then governor of East Pakistan, visited the school and seeing the destruction he assured the reconstruction of the school building. In 1984, H M Ershad, the then president of Bangladesh, visited Sandwip while the school was seeking for nationalization. He granted the school for nationalization. The school area was destroyed by the erosion of the Meghna in 1994 and went under the river water. Then the institution was transferred to Haramia.[2]
