Government Pilot Higher Secondary School is a school located in Larkana, Pakistan. It is one of oldest schools in Sindh.
History
The school was built in 1919 by British in what was then British India.
The British-era E-shaped building denotes England that still stands high without any cracks and scars. It comprises 81 rooms being used as classrooms, offices, labs, drawing hall, auditorium as well as a recently established library.
After Pakistan came into being, the school shifted its affiliation to the University of Sindh.
In 1964, under a president directive, it was selected as President's Project and renamed as Govt Pilot Secondary School with the induction of four workshops (metal, wood, electrical, and typing) aimed at imparting technical education and skills to students.
In 1994, then prime minister Benazir Bhutto upgraded it under the Prime Minister's Programme and its name was changed again to Govt Pilot Higher Secondary School. Pre-engineering and pre-medical disciplines were introduced and the post of headmaster was upgraded to the status of principal.
