Hutchings High School & Junior College India

Mrs. E. Hutchings was born on 6th Feb 1851 and died on 15th April 1943 in Kolar, near Bangalore after having completed nearly 50 years of ministry- a ministry of commitment, compassion and above all following the teachings of Christ. Her sensitive and loving nature touched so many lives that she was fondly called 'Mama Hutchings'. "The Women's Foreign Missionary Society (WFMS)" of the Methodist Episcopal Church took over the education of girls of Taylor High School thereby leading to the formation of 'Taylor High School for Girls' and 'Taylor High School for Boys'. With the passage of time the Taylor High School for Boys was closed down. In 1913 the Orphanage and Home was merged with the Taylor High School for Girls and Mrs. E. Hutchings became the superintendent with Miss Agnes C. W. Dove assisting her.Mrs. E. Hutchings was succeeded by Miss Agnes C. W. Dove, Miss Corner, Miss Mackenzie, Miss Winslow and Miss Calkins in that order. It was in 1946 when Bishop John A. Subhan was Chairman and Miss Calkins was the Principal, the name was changed to "Hutchings High School" in honour of Mrs. E. Hutchings's selfless service. n 1960 when Bishop Mongal Singh was the Chairman, Mrs. D. Samuel was appointed and she was the first Indian Principal.
