History
NNM High School was established in 1916 by His Highness the Maharaja of Cooch Behar. Despite being in the most backward area of the State of Cooch Behar, the school used to get the highest amount of financial aid from the state. The school got recognition to appear as a high school from the University of Calcutta in 1917. It was permanently recognized as a school competent to present candidates at Matriculation Examination of University of Calcutta in 1923.
In 1957, NNM High School came under the recommendation of the director of Public Instruction, West Bengal, as Higher Secondary Multipurpose School (XI) with Humanities Group and Science Group. The Higher Secondary Council granted recognition to Nripendra Narayan Memorial High School for imparting Higher Secondary Education (XI-XII) in general stream courses provisionally for two years with effect from 1 July 1976. Agriculture came as a subject in 1963. Vocational education stream (Agriculture) was introduced in 1978. This addition upholds the school as a dignified and unique institution in the district.

School uniform
Navy blue trouser, white shirt and black shoes for the boys and red-bordered white sari and red blouse for the girls every weekday except Thursday.
School prayer
Two songs are chanted in the prayer, the first four stanza of উঠ গো ভারত-লক্ষ্মী by Atulprasad Sen followed by the National Anthem of India. Although nominally independent, Koch Bihar was a vassal state of the British Raj (1774-1949). The patriotic song by Atulprasad Sen in school prayer, therefore, suggests its involvement in the Indian independence movement.
