In 1945, sons of landlord Govinda Chandra Roy established this school in their father's memory who died circa 1908. The first headmaster of this school was Babu Bosonto Kumar Roy. At this time, the name of the school was ‘Basail Middle English School (বাসাইল মধ্য ইংরেজী বিদ্যালয়)’. Initially, it was an English-medium school and classes started at the landlord's house (present Roy Bari at Basail East para). In 1948, Govinda Roy's sons Charu Roy, Apurbo Roy and Saroj Roy transferred the school to its present location. At this time, its name was changed to ‘Basail Govinda High English School’. In 1952, the word ‘English’ was removed and the name of the school was changed to ‘Basail Govinda High School’. At this time, many students of the nearest upazila were admitted at his school. It was a famous school of the Basail upazila at this time.

On 6 November 1987, President Hossain Mohammad Ershad declared it as government school. Mahmud Almazidi (Shish Miah) was the upazila chairman at that time. He played an important rule to make it government school. The first headmaster of the government school was Miah MD. Abul Kashem.

The area of the school is 9 acres. The academic staffs of the school are 14. The school has about four hundred students.

The school published a yearly magazine named ‘ধ্রুবতারা’.
