History

In 1888, the Catholic Bishop of Coimbatore, the Rt. Rev. Dr. Bardou, considered it opportune to start a school within the premises of their 'House' in the Nilgiris. Before the establishment of present school, bungalows owned by the Catholic Mission in Wellington were utilized for the education of Catholic children. Dr. Bardou, with considerable enterprise, obtained an extensive property in Coonoor and the work of the building was started in 1888.

In 1892, the Management of the School was entrusted to the Patrician Brothers who had landed and established themselves in Madras in the year 1875. Under the stewardship of Rev. Bro. Malachy Carew as the first Principal, St. Joseph's set off on the road to success and advancement. Through the interest and patronage of Sir Arthur Lawley, the then Governor of Madras, and the Hon'ble Murray Hammick - 1st Member of Council - the famed 'L' Block was commissioned in 1911. With Rev. Bro. L.T. Fordd at the helm, the Telegraph Training Classes were launched in 1919 to give this Institution the name she is more famous by - St. Joseph's College - until recently. The telegraph classes, due to Government policy, were discontinued in 1929 and the College catered to the all round development of her students who appeared for the Cambridge School Leaving Certificate or the Anglo-Indian High School Examination which was maintained until 1978, when the pattern of education changed to the present Higher Secondary Examination of the Tamil Nadu State Board, the Anglo-Indian High School Examination maintaining the status quo.^[2]
