History
The school was functioning as a center in Melangadi, Kalpakanchery in 1920. It became an elementary school in 1933 at Kadungathukund. It was upgraded to a High School in 1958. The school had become the center of literacy for people across the district. The higher secondary section of the school opened in 2000.
The first LP school in Kalpakancheri was established by Malabar Wana British Government after the reign of Tipu Sultan. At that time, the first president of Kalpakancheri panchayat, Kochunni Moopan, known as Alikutty Moopan, established the LP School at Angadi, later elevated to a UP School. The school was taken over by the government and shifted to Kadungathukund. After that it was upgraded to a High School. The school produced many prominent figures in politics, culture and education. During the 1980s, the institution gained the reputation for enrolling the largest number of Muslim girls in the district. At that time the school was working on a shift system.{{cite web | url=https://www.valanchery.in/resttoom-for-women-inaugurated-in-kalpakanchery-gvhss/ | title=കല്പകഞ്ചേരി ജി.വി.എച്ച്.എസ്.എസിൽ വനിതാ വിശ്രമകേന്ദ്രവും ശൗചാലയ ബ്ലോക്കും ഉദ്ഘാടനംചെയ്തു | date=13 June 2023 }}{{cite web | url=https://valavannur.com/scout/ | title=സ്കൗട്ട്സ് ആൻഡ് ഗൈഡ്സ് പരിചിന്തന ദിനാചരണവും രാജ്യപുരസ്കാർ അവാർഡ് നേടിയ കുട്ടികൾക്കുള്ള അനുമോദന ചടങ്ങും നടത്തി | date=23 February 2018 }}
