HPS Museum

HPS Museum is a classic example of how history can be represented in a well-detailed manner; the historical exhibition projected old school uniforms, buses, boarding rooms, etc. The exhibition was enhanced by a Wall of Honour, serving as a testament to HPS's enduring legacy of excellence. The exhibition efficiently used technology to project the nuances of the information related to the institution. 

HPS Standing Out

Hyderabad Public School has a notable set of alumni from all across the world who are leaders in their respective fields. These alumni have supported the organisation of the centenary celebration with utmost vibrancy. The school expanding its swing in academic excellence, sports competence and cultural fostering. According to Skand Bali, Principal, of Hyderabad Public School, HPS has always been ahead of the curve when it comes to the welfare of the students and faculty the school has been providing scholarships to people from humble backgrounds, scheduled caste and scheduled tribes before Right To Education arrived. 

He also emphasised the institution’s approach to maintaining a balance between academic excellence and the development of sports infrastructure that NEP also focuses on as holistic education. These characteristics and features of the HPS make it distinct from other educational institutions. 

Bali considers technological intervention to enhance the learning experience for the students and also enable them to increase their potential.
