Barkur, May 2, 2025:
The town of historical and culturally rich Barkur is beaming with pride as its three major High Schools registered outstanding performances in the recently announced SSLC 2025 State Board Examination results. The collective success of these institutions stands as a proof to their commitment to academic excellence, holistic education, and the trust of the local community in their time-tested legacy.
The 79-year-old National High School, Barkur, has once again created history by achieving a record 100% result for the third consecutive year. This rare academic feat highlights the school's consistent dedication to quality education and all-round development of its students.
Adding to the celebration, the English medium counterpart under the same esteemed management — Shri Vidyesha Vidyamanya National English Medium High School (SVVN), managed by The Barkur Educational Society, also delivered an impressive 97% pass rate, with all students securing either Distinctions or First Classes. This phenomenal outcome reflects the rising standards and growing recognition of the institution.
Meanwhile, Maryknoll High School, Barkur, continued its legacy of excellence with a remarkable 95% pass rate, underlining the institution’s sustained focus on nurturing academic achievers with value based education.
Team Barkur Online extends heartfelt congratulations to all the successful students who have made their schools and families proud. A special note of appreciation goes to the visionary and committed Heads of these institutions:
Mrs. Hemavathy P.S., Headmistress, National PU College, Barkur
Mrs. Likitha Kotary, Headmistress, SVVN High School
Sr. Jasmitha, Headmistress, Maryknoll High School
Their leadership, supported by a dedicated team of teachers, has played a pivotal role in shaping these success stories. Equally deserving of praise are the parents who placed their faith in these local institutions, choosing them over the tempting promises of distant city schools, thereby reaffirming their trust in Barkur’s educational heritage.
This collective triumph not only marks an academic milestone but also reinforces Barkur’s growing reputation as a hub of scholastic excellence in the region.
Congratulations once again to all the achievers – the future belongs to you!
