History

In 1986 when St. Joseph's Church, NTPC, Dibiyapur originated, the dream of late Rev. Fr. Issac Kochupura was fulfilled. During those initial days of the Power Plant he used to visit the Christian families at Dibiyapur and offer Holy Mass for them in the NTPC colony. As per their request it was decided to open a School for the Company employees children which was inaugurated by Rt. Rev. Dr Cecil De Sa the Archbishop of Agra on 15 July 1989.

The school is located inside the township of NTPC's Auraiya Gas Power Station, Alok Nagar, Dibiyapur. This school was established in 1989 having a very small number of students ( 31 students ) and few teachers run in two CISF quarters at NTPC Township. The NTPC Recreation Centre also worked as the school building during the early days of this school. But the proper building was constructed in 2006 when the number of students in the school grew due to students interested in taking admission from outside the township, that is, from the town Dibiyapur and from the district Auraiya.
