History

P S Senior Secondary School was established in June 1976 with a vision of providing quality education to students at a highly competitive cost. The school opened its doors with 265 students and today stands proud with a strength of 2751 students. Needless to say, the institution’s dynamic educational environment has evolved and enlightened several generations of learners.

The institution is a unit of P.S. Educational Society, the educational wing of P. S. Charities, founded in 1905, which has upheld the cause of Education with character building. The school was granted permanent affiliation by the CBSE on April 1, 1987.

Brahmasri Pennathur Subramanya Iyer was born in March, 1860 in a middle class family at Chittoor. He was a man of great courage, dedication and generosity. His graceful demeanour and elegance in manners made him stand out. In 1890, he was made the Commissioner for the Mylapore Division, a seat he retained till his death in 1901. It was at his instance and through his influence that the underground drainage works were done in the Mylapore Division, replacing the open drains that had existed before as a hotbed of infections of various kinds. He thought that the best use he could make of his wealth was to utilise it for the spread of knowledge and education of the upcoming generations. This led to the formation of the P. S. Charities which has expanded its service in the cause of education and stands glorious after 100+ years. He bequeathed all his property towards P.S. Charities.
