History

The Model HS School was established in 1960. It was brought under the administration of the Madhya Pradesh Board of Secondary Education in 1964.

Model High has been a center of student politics in Bhopal since its early years. Shivraj Singh Chouhan, the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, was the president of the school's students union in the 1970s. In 2009, while protesting against Rahul Gandhi's comments on serial blasts in Mumbai, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) activists came to Model school and purchased an admission form for him. They requested the school to impart him "primary education" so he would not make "immature comments".
