History

In 1927, Md. Ramzan Ali Akon, an education enthusiast and social worker, who was the first metric pass and Entrance I.S.C. (under the University of Calcutta) in Barguna District and the first president of Barguna Union Board (serving five terms), established an English medium school named Barguna M.E. School (Barguna Middle English School) with the help of local elite personalities. He also served as its founding headmaster. In 1931, the school was upgraded to a secondary school. In 1934, Abdul Majid Mia (B.A., B.T.) joined as headmaster. In 1938, the school was upgraded to a high school. In 1970, the school was nationalized, and the then Pakistan government took responsibility for its management and expenses. Since then, it has been known as Barguna Zilla School.
