The Jorhat Govt. Boys' H.S and M.P. School was established in 1883 during the British rule in India. It is situated in Sonaru Path, near the Head Post Office, Jorhat. There are 56 staff and around 1600 students. The language of instruction is Assamese.
Students of the Government Boys' School appear for the High School Leaving Certificate (equivalent to the class 10 exam) under the Board of Secondary Education, Assam, and the Higher Secondary School Leaving Certificate (equivalent to class 12) under the Assam Higher Secondary Education Council.
In 1867, George Williamson, a senior administrative officer, donated one lakh rupees, for the promotion of technical education in Jorhat and Golaghat. With that donation, Williamson Artizan School was established at Jorhat in 1876 with eight students. A high school as per government policy was also established in Kohima, a district headquarters. However, the school had closed for the want of students. There was a demand for a high school in Jorhat and hence the Kohima High School was shifted to Jorhat in 1883 and merged with Williamson School. The school is now best known as Jorhat Govt. Boys' Higher Secondary and Multipurpose School.
