St. Michael's High School, located at Digha Ghat in Patna, is a Catholic Missionary educational institution founded in 1858 by the first Bishop of Patna, Dr. Anastasius Hartmann (of the Franciscan Capuchin Missionary Society). Begun as a boarding school for poor and orphan boys under the Catholic Church at Kurji, the School has witnessed tremendous growth in student strength and physical infrastructure. With over 4,800 students (both boys and girls) on its rolls today, the School is poised for further growth as it moves into the 165th year of its founding.
