'''Town Higher Secondary School''' is a school in [[Kumbakonam]], a town in the [[Thanjavur district]] in the [[India]]n [[Indian state|state]] of [[Tamil Nadu]].

==History==
This school was founded as a primary school on 14 April 1864 by Martin, a retired English head constable at the Bhagavath Padithurai Mandapam.<ref name="thsskumbakonam.com">http://thsskumbakonam.com/</ref> Many people, including Ragunathaswami Rao, Rao Bhagadhur T. Gopal Rao and Gopu Subburaya Chettiar played a pivotal role in the growth of the school.<ref name=Hindu1>{{cite news | url=https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-tamilnadu/150th-anniversary-celebrations-of-town-hss-from-january-27/article5255973.ece | title= 150th anniversary celebrations of Town HSS from January 27 | date=21 October 2013 | accessdate=13 July 2020 }}</ref> The Chairman of Kumbakonam Municipality, Shri. P. Thambusamy Mudaliar offered his plantain grove of 100,800 square feet for the school, at a low price.<ref name=Hindu1 /> The foundation stone for the main building was laid by Porter on 29 December 1881.

In 1885, the two houses in which the school had functioned were sold at the cost of Rs. 10,500. In 1887, a committee that consisted P. Thambusamy Mudaliar, A.C. Narayana Iyer and V. Krishna Iyer was formed to supervise the construction of the school building. Taking a school which was in Pondicherry as a model, this school was constructed in 1891 at the cost of Rs. 58,000. In 1892, the building was opened by Dr. Duncan, Director of School Education.

Since its inception, the institution was always run by a group of people belonging to Kumbakonam town. It is today an aided institution of the Government of Tamil Nadu. The motto of this school is 'TRUTH, HONOUR, SERVICE AND SACRIFICE'.<ref name="thsskumbakonam.com"/>

In July 1978, the school was upgraded to a higher secondary school. K. Baladandayuthapani is the current secretary and correspondent of the school while R. Raman is the headmaster. The school releases a bimonthly magazine called HARMONY to develop the writing skills of the students in English. It also has an English Literary Club.

In January 2014, the school celebrated its 150th year.
