When I write a history of Koodali Higher Secondary School , the first name comes to my mind is that of Kunhaman Gurukkal who established a small elementary school at Kumbham ,a place near Koodali. That was in the year 1881. The school also got recognition from Government. Kunhaman Gurukkal was the manager as well as teacher of the school.
After four decades, in the year 1922 ,Kunhaman Gurukkal, gave his school to Koodali Thazhathu Veettil Kunhi Krishnan Nambiar ,who was not only his favourite student but also the Karanavar of Koodali Tharavadu . Kunhi Krishnan nambiar upgraded the school to a Higher Elementary School , constructed a beautiful school building at Koodali and shifted the institution from Kumbham to Koodali. He appointed his nephew K. T. Padmanabhan Nambiar as manager and P. Kannankutty as headmaster of the School. Kannan Kutty Master retired in the year 1935.K.T.Kunhikannan Nambiar became the headmaster and later in 1941 K.T. Kunhikelappan Nambiar became the headmaster of the Higher Elementary School.
I n the year 1945, the higher elementary school was upgraded as oodali High School .
K. T. Kunhi Kammaran Nambiar was the Karanavar of the tharavad then. Under his able leadership and with the help of the people of the locality, a new building was constructed for the School.
