28 years is a remarkable achievement for any educational institution. For Montessorians, this occasion gives a chance to pause and reflect on our 27 years of educational journey in the service of generations and families of the Andhra Pradesh and the present Telangana. As all of you know that Montessori High School at Yellandu managed by Montessori Educational Society is one of the leading and most sought group of schools in Telangana imparting quality education at an affordable cost.

Our vision is to "Educate", "Enlighten" and "Empower" has been tested over the last 27 years and has proved to be effective and successful, time and again accepted and appreciated by the community. The school which had a humble beginning in 1993 has got 15 other branches in seven different districts of Telangana state with about 15,000 students and 700 staff on roll.

The rich diversity within our student community is now one of our key strengths. Telangana is noted for having the very highest educational expectations in the world. As the desire for high quality education has grown, our school has responded to meet this demand. In the days to come, we will continue to ensure that Montessori is responsive to Telangana's changing needs.

I am personally honoured and delighted to be the founder of Montessori Educational society. Our school has changed in nature over those 27 years, evolving from a small school to a group of schools, primarily serving the people of rural and industrial areas in Telangana. The school has now become more outward looking while retaining the very best of its educational tradition. It remains a group of schools where students learn through the medium of English. Character creates self respect, which in turn leads to high self esteem. The people of fine character live by their values. They are honest and are committed to truthfulness in thought, word and deed. True character thus encompasses the capacity of self - discipline.

Dear students, schooling is our first contact with the world, a period of joy healthy competitions, fearing, adjustment, sharing and love. It is not the wide open spaces, class rooms, the library, laboratories or the large fields that make the school. It is in the heart of the students and staff that the true institution exists.

I sincerely thank all the Teachers, Directors, Parents, Well wishers, Friends and all my loving students for their support and encouragement and I wish all success and a great future ahead

Best wishes and warm greetings to all.
