Government Muslim High School, Chittagong (Bengali: গভ. মুসলিম হাই স্কুল, চট্টগ্রাম) is a public secondary boys-only school in the court hill area of Kotwali Thana, Chittagong, Bangladesh.[1] It was established in 1874 as the Chittagong Madrasah and was separated in 1909. The school's enrollment is currently 2,501 students.

History

Chittagong Government Madrasah's Anglo-Persian Department was split off to form the school in 1909. Originally it operated out of part of the local Registration Office building.[2] The school opened at first with madrasah and Bengali departments. The first headmaster, from 1910 to 1915, was Khan Shaheb Wahaidun Nabi. It moved to a permanent site in 1916, and was renamed Chittagong Government Muslim High School. In 1953, the Urdu department was also established. In 1970 the school expanded into a new building. There was also a small mosque, which was subsequently enlarged. In 2005 the government established another two buildings, a science lab building and an administration building.

The school has a hostel and headmaster's cottage. In front of the school building, there is a large playground. The school has a library which contains more than 2000 books.
