Like any other educational institution, Teacher’s Day was celebrated in Pfeiffer Memorial High School at Renigunta in Tirupati on September 5 (Monday). This day holds more significance than just celebration for this school as former President of India Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan whose birthday is celebrated as Teacher’s Day across the country had studied here.
The alma mater of Radhakrishnan is now staring at a bleak future. The Pfeiffer Memorial High School was established in Tirupati in 1880 by German missionaries, but later moved to Renigunta Jeevagram in 1930.
