Bogra Zilla School (Bengali: বগুড়া জিলা স্কুল) is the oldest high school in the Bogra district of Bangladesh and one of the top-ranked schools in the country. It provides education from class three (Grade-3) to class ten (Grade-10). It was a private English medium school before becoming a public school.
Bogra Zilla School was established in 1853. Babu Bhagabati Charan Ghosh was the first headmaster. It was a private (non-government) school before becoming a public one. It came under governmental management through the efforts of then magistrate and collector Mr. Russell and deputy collector Babu S. Mukharjee. This school observed its 150th anniversary celebration in 2005.
Bogra Zilla School was the second government high school in the Bogra district during British rule. Babu Bhagabati Charan Ghosh was appointed Headmaster of the school and held the post for six years. Bogra's native son Babu Kishoree Lal Roy, who is the author of many philosophical writings, was an early student of this school. In his book Free Enquiry after Truth he wrote, “In 1853 a Government English school was established here and I obtained my entrance into it. My progress in this institution has been remarked by its first and best of its Headmasters that ever were, to have been remarkably rapid. Be it said with deep respect and gratitude that under the judicious tuition of Babu Bhagabati Charan Ghosh I obtained a useful knowledge of the English language within about four years and a half. I have always thought Bhahabati Babu to be one of my greatest benefactors on Earth and will think so for ever also.”
There were four teachers during the period of Bhagabati Babu. According to the National School Committee, the school appears to have beeb founded principally by the sons and relatives of the clerks' officers connected with the Courts. After Bhagabati Babu, A. C. Mukharjee became Headmaster in 1859. During his tenure, two students passed in 2nd division, and one passed in 1st division with scholarship in 1862. Around this time, the practice of giving books as rewards to the students of both Bangla and English schools based on their performance was started.
During the prize-giving ceremony more than a hundred taka used to be spent for fireworks. During 1859–60, the inspector of the schools of the north-east areas and Assam, Mr. W. Robinson, conducted the ceremony. He arranged a demonstration with a magic lantern for their entertainment and showed many interesting and educative events of nature such as the motions of the stars and planets, a solar and lunar eclipse, a cyclone, etc. From 1881 to 1885, a school building was constructed of bricks.
In 1873–74, there were six teachers, one pundit, and one moulavi in the school. There were 85 students in 1860–61. In 1907–08, the number of students was 363. Among them, 218 were Hindus and 145 were Muslims.
The school now has 52 faculty members and 4000 students. The faculty members are graduates from universities in Bangladesh, and student applicants, mostly from top elementary schools, are put through a competitive admission selection process.

বাংলাদেশের বগুড়া জেলার সবচেয়ে প্রাচীন হাইস্কুল হচ্ছে বগুড়া জেলা স্কুল। এটি দেশের প্রথম সারির অন্যতম একটি স্কুল। এখানে তৃতীয় শ্রেণী থেকে দশম শ্রেণী পর্যন্ত শিক্ষা প্রদান করা হয়। সরকারি স্কুল হওয়ার পূর্বে এটি একটি বেসরকারি ইংরেজি মধ্যম স্কুল ছিল।
১৮৫৩ সালে বগুড়া জেলা স্কুল প্রতিষ্ঠা করা হয়। বাবু ভগবতি চরণ ঘোষ ছিলেন এটির প্রথম প্রধান শিক্ষক। সরকারি স্কুল হওয়ার পূর্বে এটি একটি বেসরকারি স্কুল ছিল। তৎকালীন ম্যাজিসট্রেট এবং কালেক্টর জনাব রাসেল এবং ডেপুটি কালেকটর বাবু এস মুখারজির প্রচেষ্টায় স্কুলটি সরকারি ব্যাবস্থাপনার অধীনে আসে। ২০০৫ সালে স্কুলটি এটির ১৫০ তম প্রতিষ্ঠা বার্ষিকী পালন করে।
ইংরেজ শাসনামলে বগুড়া জেলা স্কুল ছিল বগুড়া জেলায় দ্বিতীয় সরকারি উচ্চ বিদ্যালয়। বাবু ভগবতি চরণ ঘোষকে স্কুলের প্রধান শিক্ষক হিসেবে নিয়োগ করা হয় এবং তিনি এই পদে ছয় বছর স্থায়ী ছিলেন। দর্শন ভিত্তিক অনেক লেখনীর প্রনেতা বগুড়ার সন্তান বাবু কিশোরী লাল রায় এই স্কুলের প্রথমদিকের ছাত্র ছিলেন। তাঁর বই সত্যের জন্য মুক্ত অনুসন্ধানে তিনি লিখেছিলেন “১৮৫৩ সালে এখানে একটি সরকারি ইংরেজি স্কুল প্রতিষ্ঠা করা হয়ে যেখান থেকে আমি এনত্ট্রেন্স পরিক্ষায় উত্তীর্ণ হই।এই স্কুলের প্রথম এবং সর্বকালের সেরা প্রধান শিক্ষকের মতে আমার অগ্রগতি ছিল উল্লেখকরার মত দ্রুত। আমি গভীর শ্রদ্ধা ও কৃতজ্ঞতার সাথে বলতে চাই যে বাবু ভগবতি চরণ ঘোষের শিক্ষায় আমি সাড়ে চার বছরের মধ্যেই ইংরেজি ভাষা সম্পর্কে প্রয়োজনীয় জ্ঞান অর্জন করি। আমি সবসময় ভগবতি বাবুকে পৃথিবীতে আমার সর্বশ্রেষ্ঠ হিতকারী হিসেবে মনে করি এবং সবসময়ই করে যাবো”।
ভগবতি বাবুর সময়ে এখানে চারজন শিক্ষক ছিল। ন্যাশনাল স্কুল কমিটি অনুযায়ী আদালতের সাথে সম্পৃক্ত কর্মকর্তা, কর্মচারীদের পুত্র ও আত্মীয় স্বজনরা মূলত স্কুলটি প্রতিষ্ঠা করে। ১৮৫৯ সালে ভগবতি বাবুর পর এ সি মুখারজি স্কুলটির প্রধান শিক্ষক নিযুক্ত হন। তাঁর সময়ে ১৮৬২ সালে দুই জন ছাত্র দ্বিতীয় বিভাগে এবং একজন বৃত্তিসহ প্রথম বিভাগে উত্তীর্ণ হয়। এ সময় থেকেই বাংলা ও ইংরেজি স্কুলে ছাত্রদের নৈপুণ্যের কারনে বই পুরস্কার দেওয়ার রীতি চলে আসছে।
পুরস্কার বিতরণী অনুষ্ঠানের সময় একশতর অধিক টাকা আতশবাজির জন্য ব্যয় করা হত। ১৮৫৯-৬০ সালে উত্তর পূর্ব এলাকা এবং আসামের স্কুল পরিদর্শক জনাব ডব্লিউ রবিনসন পুরস্কার বিতরণী অনুষ্ঠান পরিচালনা করতেন। তিনি আনন্দ দেওয়ার জন্যে জাদুর লন্ঠনের মাধ্যমে জাদুর আয়োজন করতেন এবং প্রকৃতির অনেক শিক্ষণীয় ঘটনা যেমন গ্রহ এবং নক্ষত্রের ঘূর্ণি, সূর্য এবং চন্দ্রগ্রহন, ঘূর্ণিঝড়, ইত্যাদি প্রদর্শন করতেন। ১৮৮১ থেকে ১৮৮৫ সাল পর্যন্ত ইট দিয়ে একটি স্কুল ভবন নির্মাণ করা হয়।
১৮৭৩-৭৪ সালে স্কুলে ছয়জন শিক্ষক, একজন পণ্ডিত এবং একজন মৌলভি ছিলেন। ১৮৬০-৬১ সালে স্কুলে ৮৫ জন ছাত্র ছিল। ১৯০৭-০৮ সালে ছাত্র সংখ্যা ছিল ৩৬৩ যাদের মধ্যে হিন্দু ছিলেন ২১৮ জন আর মুসলমান ছিলেন ১৪৫ জন।
স্কুলটিতে এখন ৫২জন অনুষদ সদস্য এবং ৪০০০ ছাত্র আছে। অনুষদ সদস্যরা বাংলাদেশের বিভিন্ন বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ের গ্র্যাজুয়েট এবং ছাত্র হিসেবে ভর্তিচ্ছুকরা দেশের শীর্ষস্থানীয় স্কুল থেকে এসে থাকেন যাদের নির্বাচিত হওয়ার জন্যে রীতিমত প্রতিযোগিতামূলক পরিক্ষায় উত্তীর্ণ হতে হয়।

Ishwar Chandra High School (ঈশ্বর চন্দ্র উচ্চ বিদ্যালয়) is situated at Saturia Upazila of Manikganj District, very near to the Baliati Palace. This school was named after Ishwar Chandra Ray Chowdhury, one of the famous Zamindars in Baliati. According to the locals, this school was found by Horendra Kumar Ray in the year 1915-1916. From the history, it can be said that Horendra Kumar Ray was the Son of Ishwar Chandra Ray Chowdhury. Once, this school was named as Ishwar Chandra English High School, but in later time, the name has been changed.
It is said that Horendra Kumar Ray Chowdhury spent around fifty thousands taka at that time to build this ornamented & large school building. which was certainly a big amount to pay at that contemporary time. In recent time, this school has been conducted by a committee consisting of local people.
