Presentation Convent High School, Murree
The origins of Presentation Convent Schools in the Punjab region trace back to September 8, 1895, when the first Presentation Convent School was established by three Irish sisters. Today Presentation Convent Schools are found throughout Pakistan, serving educational needs of approximately thirteen thousand children in both Urdu and English medium schools. They have a presence in various cities including Rawalpindi, Peshawar, Jhelum, Sargodha, (Khushab district), Wah, Risalpur, Mingora (Swat) and Sindh.
In recognition of its historical significance, Presentation Convent High School, Murree, was designated as a historical building in 2014 under the Special Premises (Preservation) Ordinance 1985 by the Punjab Archaeology Directorate General. This designation underscores the importance of preserving the cultural and educational heritage that this institution represents.
