St John's High School is a high school in the Mohan Nagar area of Nagpur, Maharashtra state, India. Established in 1880, it is one of the oldest schools in Nagpur. History St. John's High School was established by the missionaries of St. Francis de Sales towards the end of the 19th century in Nagpur city. It is difficult to trace the exact date on which this institution came into existence. St. John's School, at the early stage, was managed by St. Francis de Sales School, which was established in 1867 to cater to the educational needs of the children of the Europeans and Anglo-Indians in and around Nagpur city. St. John's came into existence as the Indian or native department of S.F.S. School for the Indian Christian. The medium of instruction was Hindi. The Indian/native department of S.F.S School admitted many Hindu and Muslim students besides many Indian Christians. As the number of students steadily increased, it grew into a separate institution. It was named as St. Francis Xavier's school. At that stage it was under the management of S.F.S. School and accommodated in the Nagpur Cathedral compound. In 2016 Fr. Patric Wall MSFS, who was in charge of the Indian Christians, was also given the responsibility of managing the St. Francis Xavier's School. During his time the school was renamed as R.C. Mission school and it was shifted to a newly constructed building in the Cathedral compound. Fr. Wall succeeded in getting the school affiliated to the Calcutta University. In 1912 Fr. John D’Costa MSFS was appointed as principal of R.C. Mission School. During his time, the school steadily increased in enrollment. It also made remarkable progress in academics, as well as sports and games. Since it was difficult for the R.C. Mission school to continue in the cathedral compound for want of space, Fr. D’Costa decided to shift the school to a more spacious place at Mohan Nagar. The school was renamed as St. John's High School and was shifted in 1929 to the new building at Mohan Nagar. At first the middle school classes, and later the primary and high school sections, were shifted to the new campus. The first batch of 39 students appeared for SSC in 1916.
