The town of Sangla Hill is situated in the west of the district Sheikhpura, Punjab, Pakistan. The school is located just outside the town, adjacent to a beautiful hill. Sangla Hill has a population of about 200,000 (2011 data) and is surrounded by almost 109 villages.
The Christian Girls’ High School and Boarding House were established in 1902-3, under the auspices of the Women’s Foreign Missionary Society of the United Presbyterian Church of North America. The school fulfilled its mission of educating the area’s young people for many years until the missionary schools were nationalized by the Pakistani government in 1972. When the school was returned to PEB control in 1998, there was much work to be done to repair and renovate the school and boarding house which had been neglected during the 26 years of government control. A portion of the boarding house had collapsed and was unsafe for occupancy, so only half of the building could be used for the resident students.
In 1993, Dr. Mike Medley (Former Executive Secretary of PEB) presented a proposal to the Presbyterian Women in the United States for construction of a new boarding house. By the grace of God, the proposal was accepted and a grant from the Presbyterian Women Birthday Offering funded a new building capable of accommodating 200 girls. The new boarding house was dedicated on April 18, 2001.
Additional building projects have been completed with funds from other partners: the high school building (Phase-I) was funded by Oikonomos Foundation, the Netherlands in 2005; the high school building (Phase-II) was funded by Eades Foundation in Champaign, IL, USA in 2007; and Phase-III of the high school building is in progress. Partners have also provided funds for a boundary wall and scholarships.
The boarding house aims to provide high-quality facilities for students whose families cannot support them at home. PEB has established an educational environment where students can receive a top-notch education while learning respect for others, fairness, and tolerance so they can become good citizens and positive contributors to their community and their country.
Since its inception, Christian Girls’ High School, Sangla Hill has educated more than 39,000 girls. In recent years the school has hosted the PEB inter-school carol competition and has taken the top prize several times. Students also have the opportunity to participate in the debate, science competition, and sports competitions. The boarding house girls also participate in the Summer Literacy Project, in which they return to their villages during summer vacation and teach basic reading and math skills to uneducated family members and other adults.
The school aims to provide high quality education in an environment where students also learn respect for others, fairness, and tolerance so that they can become good citizens and positive contributors to their community and their country. The village of Martinpur, established in 1898, was named in honor of Dr. Samuel Martin, a United Presbyterian Church missionary. He secured this land and selected 72 families from different parts of the province of Punjab to come and live in the new area. Martinpur is located in the Sheikhpura district which has a population of 857,000 (2012 data).
While the school was under government control (1972-1998), the facilities were neglected and many classrooms became unusable. Educational standards dropped drastically. The lack of a boundary wall around the school property meant that townspeople and animals freely wanted across school grounds that had earlier been used for sports fields.
When the school was returned to PEB, much work needed to be done. Staff was hired, and PEB appointed a Repair and Renovation Committee to assess the needs of the buildings and furnishings, to set priorities, get bids for the work, and start the project. Rebuilding was boosted by a generous gift from the Martin family. A boundary wall was built, followed by water and sanitary facilities, and renovations to some classrooms.
