Our School which has served the society for 70 long years and has seen her Diamond Jubilee owes its origin to Shri Ramnath Goenkaji, a well known and prominent businessman and the Chairman of the Express Group of papers. The School came into existence on 04-07-1949 with his munificent and magnanimous contributions. It has been named after his beloved wife Smt. Moongibai Goenka to Commemorate her name and to honour her laudable services to the Community.The initial number of students of the school stood at 75 with five staff members. The school was housed in then No.1, and now Old 11/New 1, Ramanujar Street, Sowcarpet, Chennai – 79. which had been the residence of the Goenka family. The main aim of the founder in starting the School has been to cater to the educational needs of the girls in the crowded and populous area and to give them instructions on sound lines so as to train them for a good life. It was functioning under the management of the Moongibai Goenka Educational Trust and with its aid.
