The R.S. Krishnan Higher Secondary School is located in Tiruchirapalli (Trichy), Tamil Nadu, India. It was founded in 1964 by the Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited company to provide education for the children of the company's employees. Subsequently, the school opened admissions for non-BHEL students too. Initially, the school was given the name Boiler Plant Higher Secondary School, and was renamed to be RS Krishnan Higher Secondary School, in memory of the first executive director of BHEL. It was run by the Jesuit order Montfort Brothers of St. Gabriel until 2006, when the Singapore-based Global Indian Education Foundation took over the management of the school.. RSK was under their preview for a tenure of 5 academic years. KKR's Gowtham Educational Institutions took over the management in 2011.
The School follows the Central Board Of Secondary Education, Delhi, syllabus. The CBSE syllabus was exclusive in all of RSK's classes until 2000, after which due to public demand and the trends in the Professional Courses admissions in Tamil Nadu, the Management introduced (Tamil Nadu) State Board as an additional alternate syllabus for Classes XI and XII. The School has a strong Alumni network and a very active association called the Old Students' Association (OSA).
