A brief history of the school since its inception and the changes that followed during the British Rule over the country.
Raja Bijai Sen, the founder of this school, was merely 4 years old when he was declared the successor to the throne of Mandi State in 1851.0n attaining majority, he was formally invested with the powers of a ruler by Sir Douglas Forsyth on 12th Oct1866. On this auspicious occasion, the Raja donated a sum of Rupees One Lac for Public utility works, including establishing a school at Mandi. The setting of Anglo Vernacular Middle School(1866) as it was initially called ushered in an era of literacy through a proper system of education for the common people of the state. In due course a second storey was added at a cost of Rs.l0,000/-to the original building.
Later when Raja Joginder Sen(1913-1948) upgraded the school to matriculation in 1921, it was christened "Bijai High School" after its founder. Several extensions were made during his rule to the existing building, viz.the U Block, Science Block, Drawing Art Room (round id shape), a hostel and agriculture farm, all to meet the needs of various disciplines.
At present, the wooden two storey building of the Primary wing is in poor condition. Due to this the primary classes have been shifted to the U Block. Classes for girls, up to the 5th are also running here.
The school has now become Govt. Senior Secondary School and has classes up to the 12th, since 1986.
