On the high road leading to Madurai – an ancient place, which gave birth to the renowned Tamil Sangam and also the flourishing place for pearls and development the three facets of Tamil – Literature, Music and Theatrics – Our Lady of Lourdes Girls Higher Secondary School was established by the sisters of Bon Secours Congregation (Adaikkala Annai Sabai) with a view to extending education, for extending a helping to the unfortunate segment of the society and also to exhibit the loving care to the helpless segment of the society. After completing 8th standard, the girls had to go a very far place for pursuing higher elementary levels of education. The people of the area were not aware about the importance of education for girls and had not sent their girls to a different place for education. The Parish Priest of Mettuppatti, Rev.Fr K. S, Michael, has explained the situation to the Rev Mother Mary Isabellah and sought permission to start a high School. On 13.6.1959 in Saveriarpalayam, Our Lady of Lourdes High School was started – representing the name the virgin Mother Our Lady of Lourdes, who gave her appearance in Lourdes Nagar in France and who has been granting multitude of her gracious assistance to those who seek her.
