About St Gerosa School It was the felt need of the people of the locality about 45 years ago for a high school in Jeppu, as many girls after completing their elementary education in Infant Mary's Hr. Pry. School at Jeppu and other neighbourhood schools, discontinued their studies for want of high school in the vicinity.

Realizing this need of the weaker sections of the society, inclusive of those form the orphanage, the Sisters of Infant Mary's Convent, Jeppu ventured into the difficult task of starting a high school. Thus in the year 1964, after obtaining due permission from the concerned education department, St. Gerosa Girls' High School was started by opening 8th standard in Kannada medium with 84 girls on roll and in subsequent years standards 9 and 10.

The first batch of SSLC students appeared for the Public examination in March 1967. Students from various higher primary schools of the neighbourhood rushed for admissions to St. Gerosa Girls' High School.

In 1968 the three floor school building was completed, solemnly blessed and was inaugurated. In the year 1972, the first batch of English medium girls who have passed their 7th Std. District level Examination, enrolled themselves in the High School, adding a parallel English medium section to the existing aided Kannada medium High School.

There was steady growth in the number of students in the high school. As the craze to study in English medium increased, there was a steady decline in the number of students who opted for Kannada medium. In order to strengthen these classes, boys were admitted to Kannada medium high school from 2007.

At present Sr. Emma Aranha is heading the High School. She is doing her best in meeting the challenges of the present time and the school continues to see the welfare of the students under her able administration and effective guidance.
