SUGUNA PIP School (abbreviated to SPIPS) is a comprehensive, co-educational private school in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India. Established in 2003 by industrialist G Ramaswamy Naidu, the school sits on a 4.5acres campus and offers classes from kindergarten to senior secondary school. It is affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), New Delhi.

History

The Suguna Charitable Trust was established in 1973 by the Suguna Group of Industries, Coimbatore. It set up the SUGUNA PIP School in 2003 as its first CBSE-affiliated educational institution, and admitted the first batch of students in the same year.

The centenary year celebration of founder G Ramaswamy Naidu was inaugurated in 2022 by then Chief Minister of Karnataka, Basavaraj Bommai, his close associate. In 2023, the chief guests for the centenary year events were Jagadguru Deshikendra Mahaswamiji (24th pontiff of the Sri Suttur Math, Karnataka) and Krishnaraj Vanavarayar (businessman and founder of Kumaraguru College of Technology, Coimbatore).

Organisation

Chairwoman L Suguna of the Suguna Charitable Trust serves as the management trustee and nominates members to the ten-member School Management Committee (SMC). The Group managing director (V Lakshminarayanasamy) and the school principal are ex-officio members of the SMC. Seven members are selected from amongst the faculty and parents. The Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) is a fourteen-member committee, consisting of the staff and parents selected on a rotational basis, that deliberates non-management decisions twice a year.

A principal and senior principal lead the day-to-day school affairs and are supported by an academic coordinator, grade coordinators, heads of departments, and administrative officers. The Student Council handles disciplinary matters, publishes the annual school magazine (YOUTHink), and assists in conducting events. All students are placed in one of the four school houses at the time of admission: Aqua, Ignis, Terra, Ventus.
