From time to time, people would claim that they heard an unusual, spooky screeching noise during their late night walks, or when they were getting ready to go to bed at night. Back in those days, there were more people who believed in the existence of haunted souls.

Events that got over in May; Prom and Hindi utsav.
Events to look forward to; Senior Graduation, Bala utsav and Dilworth talent show.
