St. Anne's High School, was started on 1 June 1960 with Fr Theophilus Lobo as Rector and Fr Joe D. Pereira as [[principal (school)|Principal]]. The number of pupils was 17 girls and 33 boys, which has now grown to 1,450 students.

==History==
The school building was inaugurated and blessed by Valerian [[Cardinal (Catholicism)|Cardinal]] Gracias on 31 May 1960. Some of the [[Salesian Sisters of Don Bosco|Daughters of Mary]] Help of [[Christians]], Auxilium Convent, with Rev [[Sister Superior]], Bertha, attended the function held in the evening. There was a speech by the Cardinal followed by a few items of [[song]] and [[dance]] performed by the parishioners. The parish priest, [[Reverend|Rev]]. Fr Theophilus Lobo, due to whose labours the building owed its existence, gave the concluding speech.

The school started as a [[co-educational]] school, initially with Stds I-III and students, mostly [[parish]] children. With a view to establishing a [[convent school]] at Bandra, the superiors had appointed two sisters from Auxilium Convent, Sr Zita and Sr Regina, to teach in the parish school at [[Pali Hill]].

The new school opened its first [[academic year]] on 13 June 1960 with classes, Std. I, II, III (and lower and upper [[kindergartens]] which began functioning later). Half-day classes were held till the end of June, as the building was yet incomplete.

Initially St Anne's High School was run as day school but when admissions increased greatly, the school was run in shifts.

Following the inauguration of St. Anne's High School, every year new classes were added till the first batch of four SSC students appeared for the SSC Board Examination in 1966. The school secured cent percent results that year.

In Fr Trevor's initiatives included vocational guidance and [[counselling]], the Scouts and Guides, and other extra curricular activities like [[field sports]], [[elocution]], [[dramatics]], [[music]] and competitions, [[excursions]] and [[Summer camp|camp]]s. American Peace Corp helpers who conducted classes in [[social values]] and [[ethics]].

The newsletter was The Lion's Roar.

After Msgr Malcolm Mendonca became principal, the school building was raised, the present [[basement]], the [[hall]] above, and the school office above the church extension, were built. Funds for the construction were collected by way of [[cultural]] programmes, fetes and raffles organised by the parish and the school. Msgr Malcolm Mendonca served until his transfer in 1982.
Msgr Zachary D'souza took over as manager while Ms Greta Alvares continued as [[Headmistress]]. The school participated in inter-school competitions for [[elocution]], [[science]] projects, teaching-aids [[exhibitions]] and [[sports]] events.

The school was made a center for S.S.C Maharashtra State Board Examinations. A [[laboratory]] and [[library]] were added.

Ms Congita Fernandes retired in 2002 after serving St. Anne's for 40 years.

==Examination results==

However St Anne's had to wait for a long time to achieve the same success that they had achieved in 1966 to 1968 the wait took them 35 years until 2003 when St Anne's again achieved a cent per cent result. The school achieved a cent per cent result the following year in 2004. The same success the school achieved in 2014, after the ten years of waiting.
