'''Lal Ded Memorial School''' is one of the oldest high schools in [[Srinagar]], [[Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)|Jammu and Kashmir]], [[India]]. It is located on the bank of the [[Jhelum River]] near 2nd Bridge Habba Kadal. The school is named after the saint-poet [[Lalleshwari]], commonly known as Lal Ded, and was built in the colonial style with the use of local techniques, especially Kashmir wooden crafts. It was considered part of the [[Cultural heritage|architectural heritage]] of Kashmir.<ref>[http://www.dailyexcelsior.com/magazine/09feb15/inner.htm ]{{dead link|date=December 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref><br />

==Houses==<br />
The student body is divided into four houses, represented by colours. Each student is assigned to one of these houses upon entry into school. The houses are:<br />
* Green<br />
* Pink<br />
* Yellow<br />
* Sky blue<br />
The houses compete against each other in academic and sporting disciplines, each contributing towards house points. The house with the most points is declared the House Of The Year.<br />
<br />
==Demolition of building==<br />
The building was demolished in April 2009 by a private builder in order to construct a shopping complex at the site. A stay order was issued by the High Court after the building was demolished. The school has been transferred to a much smaller building in the area.<ref>[http://www.kashmirwatch.com/showarticles.php?subaction=showfull&id=1237450455&archive=&start_from=&ucat=3&var0news=value0news Demolition]{{dead link|date=December 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref><br />
