History
The school was established in 1885 by philanthropist Hassan Ali, who hailed from the neighboring district Lakshmipur District. When this school was established, the Silver Jubilee of Queen Victoria was occurring, so the school was named Chandpur Hasan Ali Jubilee High School. But now it is known as Chandpur Hasan Ali Government High School. In the past, male and female students both are taught. But day by day the number of students was increasing. When it was 1700 Zamindar Marhum Ahmed Raja Chowdhury established a Muslim Hostel in the place of Govt. Girls' College. On the other hand, Nabakanta Mukhapadhya established a Hindu Hostel in Jor Pukur Par. Now the Muslim Hostel is used as a hostel of Chandpur Govt.
