'''The Jorhat Govt. Boys' H.S and M.P. School''' was established in 1883 during [[British Raj|British rule]] in India. It is situated in Sonaru Path, near Head Post Office, [[Jorhat]]. There are 56 staff and around 1600 students. The language of instruction is [[Assamese language|Assamese]]. Students of the Govt. Boys appear for [[High School Leaving Certificate (India)|High School Leaving Certificate]] (class 10 exam) under the [[Board of Secondary Education, Assam]] and Higher Secondary School Leaving Certificate (equivalent to class 12) under Assam Higher Secondary Education Council.

In 1867, George Williamson, a senior administrative officer donated Rs. one lakh, for the propagation of technical education at Jorhat and [[Golaghat]]. With that donation, Williamson Artizan School was established at Jorhat in 1876 with eight students. A high school as per government policy was established at [[Kohima]], which is a district headquarters. However, the school had closed for the want of students. There was demand for a high school at Jorhat and hence the Kohima High School was shifted to Jorhat in 1883 and was amalgamated with Williamson School. The school is now best known as Jorhat Govt. Boys' Higher Secondary and Multipurpose School.
