'''Sri Lohit High School''' is an educational institute in the lower part of [[Majuli]], ([[Namoni Majuli]]) [[Jorhat]], [[Assam]], [[India]]. It is said to have been named after the [[Lohit River]], a [[tributary]] to the [[Brahmaputra River]]. It has both the high (from class VIII to class X) and Middle English (from class V to class VII) section. The '''Sri Lohit High School''' and '''Sri Lohit Middle English School''' are on the same campus with a single school building.

==History==
The school was established in 1952 under the name '''Sri Lohit Middle English School''' with [[Headteacher]] Nandi Das. The founder [[Headteacher]] of the M.E. School section was Jogen Dutta.

==Campus==
There is a [[playground]] in front of the school building where outdoor games are held. The campus is surrounded by [[paddy field]]s on three sides. A [[vocational school]] is on the campus.

The campus is used almost every year to hold ''Bihu Xonmilon'' (stage bihu competition) and ''Bohagi bidai'' (farewell to ''bohag'' month or rongali bihu) during the [[Bihu#Bohag Bihu|Rongali Bihu]] by the local cultural committees.

==Academic instruction==
===Subjects and medium===
The medium of teaching is [[Assamese language|Assamese]], but students can take classes in [[English language|English]] also. The following subjects are there for the high and M.E. section.
* [[Assamese language|Assamese]]
* [[English language|English]]
* [[Hindi]]
* [[Mathematics]]
* [[General Science]]
* [[Social studies]]
* [[History]]
* [[Geography]]
* [[Drawing]]
* [[Handicraft]]

[[Hindi]], [[History]], and [[Geography]] are [[Elective Subject]]s and students have to opt for any one of them.

===Academic session===
The [[Academic term|academic session]] starts from January to December. After the completion of six months a 'Half Yearly Examination' is conducted. Then in the end of the year the [[Final Examination|Annual Examination]] is commenced. Every class teacher takes a 'Unit Test' on their subject throughout the year.

===Summer classes===
This is an initiative taken by the regional [[All Assam Students Union|AASU]] committee to offer free coaching classes to the students during the [[summer vacation]] period. Students from other schools of the locality can join these summer classes.

==Spiritual instruction==
The classes start from 10:00am. Before that is Morning Prayer. The students get together in a line in the front field or [[veranda]] and offer their prayer. The teachers join them. Then they go to their [[classroom]]s.

==Student life==
The Union is the general body of the students of the school. The union functions in accordance with its constitution. Office bearers of the Union Executives are elected annually and they function under the guidance of a teacher-in-charge appointed by the Principal. One student in every class is appointed 'Class Captain' to look after the class in the absence of class teacher. The [[tenth grade|10th standard]] students get exemption from taking part in the union due to their preparation for [[matriculation]].

==Uniform==
For boys, the uniform is [[navy blue]] [[trouser]]s and [[sky blue]] [[shirt]]s. For girls, in the M.E. section, it is [[navy blue]] [[skirt]]s and [[sky blue]] [[Top (clothing)|top]]s and in the high section [[mekhela chador]] (mekhela being [[white]] and chador being [[white]] with [[navy blue]] edge). Students wear a [[Badge|school-badge]].

==Events==
Annual events celebrated by the school include [[Republic Day (India)|Republic Day]], [[Independence Day (India)|Independence Day]], [[Teachers' Day]], [[Saraswati pooja]], the eve of the [[summer vacation]] and other regional/national festivals.

During the annual sports week students play [[cricket]], [[association football|football]], [[volleyball]], [[kabaddi]], [[running]], [[relay race]], [[shot put]], [[javelin]], [[discus]], [[long jump]], [[high jump]], [[triple jump]], [[Ludo (board game)|Ludo]], [[chess]], [[carrom]], [[musical chairs]], [[Jump rope|skipping]], [[debate]], [[Public speaking|oratory]], [[creative writing]], [[poetry recitation]], [[music]] and [[drama]].

At the end of the week is prize-giving day. From every class, one student is awarded as the 'Best Student of the Year' depending on their academic/discipline/attendance performance.

The farewell of the [[tenth grade|10th standard]] students is a special occasion. After being passed out in the [[Test (student assessment)|test examination]], which is so crucial being a [[qualifying exam]] to matriculation, the students get together in the school for the last time.
