The school, in the center of Comilla town, was established in July 20, 1837 by an Englishman named Henry George Leicester. It was set up by the government of British India for teaching English literature and science and named Comilla Zilla School. In the beginning, there was only 37 students. From 1857, the school was running under Kolkata University. In the 1850s, the school academic building was expanded and more facilities were created to make it a full-fledged high school.
