RGHS is the first high school in Chittagong Hill Tracts in Bangladesh. During the 1971 war, many of its students were killed. The school has created leaders, policy makers and professional people. Both Tribal and Non-tribal students study in the school. It is co-educational.
"Gyan-E-Shakti" is the motto of the school, which appears in the monogram. The uniform consists of a white shirt, white half pants, and sneakers for the boys of class 3 to 5. Boys of class 6 to 10 wear a white shirt, white trousers, and sneakers. Girls from 3 to 5 wear a white shirt with a green skirt and green salwar, with white trouser for seniors.
The school should have started its program from class 3. There are two shifts: morning and day. Presently all the classes from 3 to 10 are running. There are mainly 2 sections in each of the class in the day shift, but no sections in the morning shift.
There is a system for distributing Tiffin at the school during recess. ‘Singara’, ‘Samucha’, ‘Nimki’, banana, bread, sweets, local toasts and other various items, are served as Tiffin. Students pay 70 Taka per month Tiffin fees.
The school has a library with 5000 books. Most of them were bought by coeval sanctioned money during the establishment of the school. Others were bought by annually approved money.
The school magazine Shotabdi was first published in 1897, but has not been published every year since then. A new school magazine Nirjhor was published in 2013. Now it will be published every year.
Admission goes on to class 3, 6 and 9 with an admission test. In some cases a very small number of students are admitted to other classes.
