Hume McHenry Memorial Higher Secondary School of SDA was basically started to cater to the educationl needs of the employee's children at Salisbury Park Estate. At that time it was difficult to send children to outside institutions. Therefore on a trial basis a single class of 3 students was started in 1938 which marked the begining of this glorious and historical institution. Over the years it grew up into Elementary school until earlt 1970's. However due to good efforts and sincere service of its men in the field of education, it was upgraded to class Xth, by late 1970's. it was initially affiliated to Secondary School Examinations of the State of Maharashtra and later to the ICSE Board, new Delhi. So far this institution has had 18 principals over a period of 77 years.
