About HSS Mundur
Discover the legacy, mission, and vision that have guided us for over nine decades.
Our history
Higher Secondary School Mundur has long been at the forefront of educational excellence in the Palakkad district. The light of knowledge — Aksharadeepam — was first lit by Sri K.V. Sundarawaryar and Sri Kannath Achuthan Master.
In 1933, the Mundoor Higher Elementary School was founded by the Mundoor Kizhakkewariyat family, with Sri Sivadasawaryar serving as the first manager. In the 1940s, following the retirement of the previous administrator K.V. Achuthawaryar, the administration passed to Sri Sivadasawaryar, during which Sriman Sundarawaryar took over management and dedicated himself to the school's development.
