Mymensingh Zilla School (Bengali: ময়মনসিংহ জিলা স্কুল) is a boys-only school in the city of Mymensingh, Bangladesh. It was established on 4 November 1853. Though it is a Bengali medium school now the school started as an English medium one. Since 1990 the school has been running two shifts, morning and day. The morning shift starts at 7:30 am and the day shift starts at 12:00 pm. The school has two nearby campuses: one is meant for academic and administrative buildings while the other houses the school hostel.
Mymensingh Zilla School was established in 1853 during the British Raj, and is one of the oldest schools in Bangladesh. Bhagawan Chandra Bose, father of scientist Jagadish Chandra Bose, was the first headmaster of the school.
In 1846 it started as an English medium school called 'Hardinge School' at Mr. F. B. Camp's, the then Deputy Collector of the East India Company. On 3 November 1853 it started as a full-fledged English medium school near Kachari (present Laboratory School). However, it is no longer an English medium one; it follows the national curriculum of Bangladesh and the medium of instruction is Bengali.
It was called "multilateral pilot school" during the time of first Deputy Commissioner of Mymensingh, S.M.A Kajmi, by the government. The main and present school structures were built in 1912. In 1965 the school compound was designed and reformed by an American science teacher, Mr. Dril.
The school had been used as a base of the British Army during World War II. It was also used as a training camp for freedom fighters during Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971. And more than 40 students sacrificed their lives, that time, fighting against the brutish Pakistan Army.
On 3 March 1981, police fired tear-gas to subdue rioting Mymensingh Zilla School students. Sixty people were injured in the clash, which began when the students attempted to reoccupy part of their school hostel building that the government had recently given over to an adjacent primary training institute.
