In the struggle to meet all the requirements as per the norms of CBSE we experienced unconditional support from then Provincial Br. Dominic and his team. For the completion of grand imposing infrastructure of St.Paul's Academy we are indebted to previous Provincial Br. P.A.Joseph and his team. It needs to be mentioned that present Provincial Br.

It was blessed and inaugurated on 29th August, 2018. It has a different style and look. The progress of institution clears that the secret of face-lift of St. Paul's academy is the heart lift-up and mind lift-up of many Friars. God may bless the hard works of all Friars.
