Dr. Khastagir Government Girls' School, Government girls' high school in Chittagong, Bangladesh.
Dr. Khastagir Government Girls' School is a public secondary school for girls in Chittagong, Bangladesh, serving students from grade 5 through grade 10. The campus includes sports fields, computer labs, and science facilities spread across a large plot of land in the city.
The school was founded in 1907 after Yatramohon Sen donated land and buildings to open a place of learning for girls in the region. Over time, the state took over its management, and it grew into one of the main girls' secondary schools in Chittagong.
The school has an active Girl Guide program that is woven into everyday school life, giving students practical skills alongside their studies. Each year, language programs, debates, and art events bring the whole school community together.
The school runs in two shifts throughout the day, so the campus can be active at different hours depending on the time of your visit. Visitors should check in at the entrance before entering, as it is an active school in operation.
Although the school was started through a private donation in the early 20th century, it now carries the name of a doctor, which is unusual for a girls' school of that era. In 2024, it received a national award recognizing it as the top school in its category at the state level.
