St. Anne's High School is located in Pali Hill area of Bandra, Mumbai, India, under the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Mumbai.
St. Anne's High School, was started on 1 June 1960 with Fr Theophilus Lobo as Rector and Fr Joe D. Pereira as Principal. The number of pupils was 17 girls and 33 boys, which has now grown to 1,450 students.
The school building was inaugurated and blessed by Valerian Cardinal Gracias on 31 May 1960. Some of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians, Auxilium Convent, with Rev Sister Superior, Bertha, attended the function held in the evening. There was a speech by the Cardinal followed by a few items of song and dance performed by the parishioners. The parish priest, Rev. Fr Theophilus Lobo, due to whose labours the building owed its existence, gave the concluding speech.
The school started as a co-educational school, initially with Stds I-III and students, mostly parish children. With a view to establishing a convent school at Bandra, the superiors had appointed two sisters from Auxilium Convent, Sr Zita and Sr Regina, to teach in the parish school at Pali Hill.
The new school opened its first academic year on 13 June 1960 with classes, Std. I, II, III (and lower and upper kindergartens which began functioning later). Half-day classes were held till the end of June, as the building was yet incomplete.
Initially St Anne's High School was run as day school but when admissions increased greatly, the school was run in shifts.
Following the inauguration of St. Anne's High School, every year new classes were added till the first batch of four SSC students appeared for the SSC Board Examination in 1966. The school secured cent percent results that year.
