The Academic year 1994 – 1995 is indeed a defining moment for all the De Paulites. The founder Principal Rev. Fr.

We at De Paul, with the motto “Towards Excellence and Relevance”, follow a rigorous academic programme combined with a plethora of co-curricular and extra-curricular activities thereby ensuring that the students passing out from our school have an edge over the others to face the challenges in the world and prove to be worthwhile global citizens.
