“Friends who have not seen each other for 40 years are now talking. These four days, I am not 58 - I am wandering somewhere between 11 and 17 years old.”
— தமிழரசு
“VRS Sir, BR Sir, V.Gopal Sir, KNS Sir - they were pillars of the school and ladders for students.”
— D. Karthikeyan (1985-86)
“KNS Sir as NCC Master in khaki uniform looked like superstar Rajinikanth - he was our school superstar! The aroma of snacks from Iyer Hotel after NCC training - even thinking about it now makes my mouth water.”
— D. Karthikeyan (1985-86)
“In those days 3200 students, 6 sections! Thiruvalluvar statue, big bell - a great school under HM A.U. Sivaprakasam!”
— Mohan (1965-72)
“A banyan tree where a thousand parrots perch has completed hundred years - this is the blessing we live. Our school is the heart of Kaveripakkam - no doubt about it!”
— பாலசுப்பிரமணியன் (1985)
“My father V. Gopal was a Tamil teacher, a son of this soil, born and raised in Kaveripakkam itself, served as a teacher in this same school for many years before retiring!”
— கோ. ஸ்ரீனிவாச ராகவன் (1983-84)
“HM Sivaprakasam was our English teacher. His gaze was razor-sharp. One day he wrote 4 lines of Shakespeare on the board and said "memorize this" — he taught directly in English, very progressive for a rural school!”
— Alumni (1969-70 SSLC batch)
“School days memory: the rose pieces box — one side palgova, other side kamaracut! One anna for palgova, two annas for kamaracut — that taste still lingers on the tongue!”
— Alumni (WhatsApp Group)
“"Don't play gilli-danda!" our parents used to scold us — now the centenary organizers are asking alumni to bring gilli sticks for the celebration games! Times have changed!”
— Alumni (WhatsApp Group 3)
