History
[edit]In 1941, Due to the closure of schools in Thonburi and Phra Nakhon Province during World War II, children of government officials and those employed by the Royal Thai Chemical Department were left without a place to attend school. After meeting of the Royal Thai Chemical Department staff and government officials it was decided that the Royal Thai Chemical Department should open a school to educate those kids, a request to do so was made to the Ministry of Education.[1]
The Royal Thai Chemical Department's Head, Col. Praya Witthaya Sarunayut, established an internal school on May 20, 1944, using officers' quarters 9–10 as the teaching location. Lt. Col. Khun Banyatthip Komut was assigned as the school's manager and owner, and Mrs. Samruay Unahalekaka was appointed as a teacher under the department's support, and classes began on June 2, 1944.[1]
The school has grown to accommodate more students until grade 12 receives Ministry of Education accreditation, making it on par with government schools. and permitted to serve as an exam supporting unit. Additionally, they are able to sit for the final exam on their own at all levels. Sarawittaya School named after Col. Praya Witthaya Sarunayut to honor and commemorate his grace.[2] After the school changed its name to "Sarawittaya Army Sponsor School" on November 22, 1957, and Mrs. Wanida Pinphet is the head teacher.[1]
