In 1793 Fr. Gabriel Gonzalves was the vicar of Mother of God cathedral. Of the two schools established during this period, one was for the Portuguese and the other for the Malabarees. The primary goal was to equip the children of the Christian parents employed in companies, providing them with enough of education, both physical and spiritual. Today's St. Josephs’ Boys’ H.S.S., the true grandpa of educational institutions had been established for the Malabarees as European School. Very limited are the pieces of information regarding the school during 1793 to 1860. The school today has two streams: the English and the Malayalam media. Very few ancestral schools like this could retain their cultural heritage, welcoming the new curricular transformations and trends. The school is believed to have gained its composite progress under the reign of the Carmelite priests in 1861. Their administration extended from 1861 to 1878. The Jesuits meanwhile set its mission in North Malabar and South Canara. In 1878 that the unflinching Loyolites took up the responsibility of the school from the Carmelites. Fr. A Muller.S.J was the first Jesuit manager. The strength of the school then was about 100 students. In 1888 pre matriculation 4th forum ( today's 8th std) was appended. On 12 January 1904, the D.P.I. approved the request to begin 5th forum ( today's 9th std). The same year on 10 August the school got the sanction for the 10th std. In 1906 the school got recognized by Code of Regulations and became the European High School.. On March 15, 1909, the school got 50% grant and thus the new school was inaugurated in 25 July 1910. It is noteworthy that the school could uphold its overall performance in education, arts and games.. The school released its first ever magazine “ Josephite” in 1913. On 1914 a two-storied building was set up for the boarders. In June 1936, the new Indian school began functioning combining both the European school and St. Antony's Middle school. In 1945 ( during the Second World War ) the 10th std got 86% result.. In 1946 Malayalam medium classes started from 1st to 4th std. On 17 November 1951, the bishop of Calicut diocese laid the foundation stone for the new building. The four rooms of the first floor were used as drill-sheds. The strength of the school then was 1142. In 1952 the new block was constructed. In 1955 Fr Varkey Pullan, the first Malayalee Jesuit, became the head master. During the time of Fr Antony Manjil ( 1957-1961) both St. Antony's U.P. School and St. Joseph's Middle School were separated. St. Joseph's Middle school began to function at the spot opposite to T.B.Road. In June 1961 it was discussed to shift the U.P School from T.B. Road to St. Joseph's. On 15 January Fr. Pedro Aruppe. S.J., the then Superior General of the Jesuits, visited the school and laid the foundation stone for the new building complex. In 1969 the 10th std public exam's result went up to 97.2%.. Fr. Thomas Anthraper S.J. during his long 12 years of administration led the school to higher and higher level of excellence in various fields. He bagged the “Best Teacher Award” of Kerala State. Fr. Joseph Kallepallil S.J. took over the mantle from Fr Anthraper and he planned and ably executed the grant bicentenary celebration of the school, even bringing Mother Teresa here. Very many developmental projects sprang up during his time including the bicentenary block with a grand auditorium.

On several occasions the school got 100 result in S.S.L.C. exams and always above 95% in Plus Two exams.

@GreaterPonce665: I'm not too sure who your comment is directed at; however, the above block of text appears to be a complete WP:CE from ["St. Josephs Boys' Higher Secondary School, Kozhikode". Education. Kerala Jesuits. 2021.]. So, it's not the citation that's missing, but more appropriate editing. Over to you... Rangasyd (talk) 10:49, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

@Rangasyd:, Thanks for the ping. This was a year ago, and seems to me that I moved a piece of text to talk page because it was not cited. Didn't even notice the WP:COPYVIO issues. Thought that the content seemed reasonable and didn't want to completely erase it; figured someone who cares enough about the subject might try to readd it with refs. For now, I will leave it here - in case someone's interested. Definitely not ready for move copyover to main page in current state. Thanks. GreaterPonce665 ^(TALK) 18:23, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
