J.J. Murphy Memorial Higher Secondary School, Yendayar was established in the name of Sri. John Joseph Murphy (1872-1957), one of the most successful individual Irish planters in India. The school was founded in 1982 by Sri. Michael A Kallivayalil, an entrepreneur, philanthropist and a visionary.
Sri. Michael A. Kallivayalil is the Chairman of the J.J.Murphy Memorial High School Trust. When the trust started the school at Yendayar, no other educational institution was available for the children in and around this area. The objective of this initiative was to impart quality education to the ordinary children belonging to poor uneducated parents and workers in the hilly areas locally known as High Range. The school was the fulfillment of a long felt need of this region.
The broad mindedness of the J.J. Murphy memorial High School Trust, headed by Sri. Joseph M Kallivayalil and the effort of the dedicated faculty has made the institution a dependable and reputed school in the area. The school was upgraded to a Higher Secondary School in the year 1998. It is the only aided Higher Secondary School in the Koottickal Grama Panchayat. The School was recognized as a minority institution in 2012 by the National Commission for Minority Educational Institutions.
J.J. Murphy Memorial Trust moves ahead always aiming at the progress of the institution. The management has envisioned a comprehensive plan for further development.
