Former Principals Speak

Since the inception of SFS Dhemaji, several fathers have worked as Principals and moved out to other institutions or missions elsewhere. From the beginning till date, all those who headed this temple of wisdom have scripted memorable history in the lives of many a student, teacher, parent or public that all of them remain close to someone or the other in Dhemaji. So much so, it is our experience always that sometime or the other someone or the other ask us about one father or the other, being very curious to know about his whereabouts and howabouts, asking, "Where's Fr so and so now and hw's he doing?"

‘Former Principals Speak,’ is a section anew in our School Annual this time around precisely to play the role of a connecting link between people – the fathers who worked at SFS Dhemaji as principals at one time or the other and their students, parents and teachers of those times.

Here, you will find the list of Principals at SFS Dhemaji over the years and a message from each of them, reminiscing their days here, conveying their greetings and blessings, their thoughts on Education today and the role SFS plays. When we contacted them all in this connection, they were all only happy to contribute. We are sure that you will be happy connecting with them yet again…
