About the Centenary Celebrations
The Centenary Celebrations that would start in January 2023, are being planned as a year-long grand celebration with multiple activities and events for students, staff, parents and alumni. Details of the Centenary programme with the confirmed dates would be released in public domain shortly along with a commemorative logo.
About the Vision 2050, The Hyderabad Public School Society has prepared a vision and road map for the further development of its four schools — at Begumpet, Ramanthapur, Kadapa and Warangal — over the next three decades leading up to 2050. A diverse group, comprised of proximate stakeholders of HPS, experts/leaders from the fields of education, business, science, government, law, politics, family counselling and social work participated to help formulate the vision document.
The HPS Vision 2050 document is the result of over 1,000 person-hours of intense deliberations, discussions and negotiations among this diverse group of 30 participants. Admittedly, the HPS Vision 2050 envisages extremely audacious but achievable goals given the long history of the determined accomplishment of the Schools’ and their alumni
