'''Railway High School''', [[Palakkad]] is situated in [[Hemambika Nagar]], [[Olavakkode]], [[Railway Colony]], [[Kerala]], [[India]].

The school was started by [[Railway Schools in India|Indian Railways]] as a primary school, under an unaided programme of the government of [[Kerala]].

In 1979, with the initiative of the Headmaster Mr P Madhavan along with the Parent Teacher Association took up the issue of upgrading the school to a middle school. Due to lack of response from the State Government Authority, the Headmaster started 5th standard. Once the students of 5th standard passed the final exams, he started 6th class and so on to 10th standard.

Except for one student, all the students had taken the transfer Certificate and had joined schools like PMG, St Thomas Higher Secondary School, while Prathapan PP continued in the school. The recognition from state government was accorded in time, and the rest of the students came back.

The first batch of 10th standard students passed out in 1984. The school achieved a 100% pass mark by all the students of the first batch scoring pass mark in the final [[SSLC]] exam conducted by the government of Kerala. On 2 April 2006 almost all of the students from the first batch got together. During this event many of the school teachers were thanked. Several old students came from overseas to attend the function.

The school offers [[Malayalam]] and [[English language|English]] divisions, and education up to class 12th[+2].

==Closure of Railway Schools==
In 2018, Indian Railways announced its intent to withdraw support for its Railway Schools after 2018–19.
