It is with immense pride and a deep sense of responsibility that I, Sanjeev Sharma, Principal of DAV Centenary Public School, Kotkhai, Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, welcome you to our school’s website. Nestled in the challenging yet picturesque hilly terrains of Himachal Pradesh, our institution stands as a beacon of educational excellence, guiding young minds in this region. As part of the esteemed DAV College Managing Committee New Delhi, we are dedicated to fostering holistic development in an environment that harmonises tradition and modernity. At DAV Centenary Public School, our mission goes beyond academics; we strive to shape students who are morally strong, intellectually sound, nationally patriotic, and globally humane. In today’s complex world, we instil values that nurture ethical integrity, critical thinking, love for our nation, and compassion for global issues. Our CBSE-aligned curriculum empowers students with knowledge and the wisdom to apply it responsibly. Through moral education and value-based assemblies, we build character, while academic rigour fosters intellectual curiosity. As the only CBSE-affiliated school in the region, we take pride in our highly qualified staff, whose expertise enriches learning despite the geographical challenges of steep terrains and harsh winters. Our state-of-the-art facilities include advanced science and computer labs that ignite scientific inquiry and digital literacy, preparing students for future challenges. Our expansive playground promotes physical fitness and teamwork through sports, while the multi-utility hall serves as a vibrant space for co-curricular activities like debates, cultural events, and quizzes, ensuring a well-rounded education. Inspired by Kotkhai’s resilient apple orchards, our school community thrives on unity, with teachers, parents, and students collaborating to create a nurturing environment. We celebrate national festivals to instil patriotism and integrate global perspectives through innovative programs and awareness drives on environmental and humanitarian issues. As we honour our centenary legacy, I invite you to join us in shaping responsible citizens who will contribute meaningfully to society.  Whether you are a parent seeking quality education or a visitor exploring our ethos, DAV Centenary Public School Kotkhai is committed to a brighter future.
