Founded in 1866 by an Anglican Clergyman, The Rev.S.T Pettigrew, The Cathedral High School and Pre – University College has come through various stages of its growth to blossom into a prime educational institution as it stands today
WARM WELCOME FROM
Our Principal
The portals of this great institution, has showcased a dynamism that has spread over 150 years in tutoring young individuals to a holistic growth.
Founded by the Rev. Samuel Thomas Pettigrew, a deacon with a mission to work far away from his home land. He was able to devote himself whole heartedly to his work as a missionary in India. He says, “It is a glorious country with a wondrous climate and unceasing wonders….”
The vision of the Rev S. T. Pettigrew, our founding father is furthered by the visionary leadership of the Chairman of the Board The Rt. Rev. Dr. Prasanna Kumar Samuel, Bishop, Karnataka Central Diocese Church of South India who heads a progressive Board of Management, a highly regarded faculty and enthusiastic students.
Thus the path trodden by the institution is illuminated by a spirit of progress towards an era of excellence.
MESSAGE FROM
OUR BISHOP
I send my good wishes and blessings from the Karnataka Central Diocese of the Church of South India. I am delighted to see the young minds bloom with such creativity being tapped by the teaching faculty.
The Institution truly follows Albert Einstein’s philosophy, “Education is not the learning of facts but the training of the mind to think.” The number of opportunities that is provided to them to enhance their thinking and to experiment with different fields makes this Institution a kind of its own. The success stories of the students in many important fields bear witness to the kind of learning and freedom given to the students.
I believe that education is the most powerful weapon to change the world and the use of this weapon is to mould young minds to think intensively and to view everything with a critical eye. If a mind is inspired and motivated with proper guidance, it will be able to conquer any challenge. The Institution provides a platform and abundant opportunities towards excellence. The world of technology is an ever-growing field that adds to a Childs arsenal, their creativity and passion gets all the support from the management. I take this opportunity to congratulate the Cathedral Family for their tireless and committed contribution in all their endeavors.
My prayers and wishes are with the Principal, the entire Staff and above all to the student body.
Rt. Rev Dr P K Samuel

Forward in Faith
Founded in 1866 by an Anglican Clergyman, The Rev.S.T Pettigrew, The Cathedral High School and Pre – University College has come through various stages of its growth to blossom into a prime educational institution as it stands today.
In the eternal landscape of the past comes a moment to script a chapter in history, One such moment was when Rev.S.T Pettigrew saw an Indian Woman seeking financial support to care for two white orphaned girls. Moved to compassion the venerable clergyman took them in, there were many more children. With the gift of a place on Richmond road, by the Maharaja of Mysore, The Courpalais Girls Home was born. The spark of compassion grew into the flame of passion for education. With the march of time came the stages of development as the “Home” metamorphosed into ‘The Cathedral’ of learning.Today the Cathedral Composite P.U College and High School stands enriched by the past heritage, inspired to enhance the present, poised to encounter the challenges of the future, ‘Moving Forward in Faith’.
