Bezbaruah HS School, Indian School Directory|work=StudyInfo}}</ref> Founded in the late 19th century by the educationalist Dinanath Bezbaruah, it is one of the oldest secondary schools in the state.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.assamtimes.org/node/4348|title=Golaghat Bezbaruah school to mark its 125 years, ''Assam Times''|date=15 November 2010|work=Ritupallab Saikia}}</ref> based in [[Assam]].

== Background ==
[[File:Golaghat govt school.jpg|261px|thumb|right|<center><small>''Right side view of the Golaghat Govt. School campus from the entrance gate''.</small></center>]]
The Indian Education Commission's (1882) recommendation for expansion of secondary education through the agency of private enterprise resulted in the establishment of some institutions by philanthropists. ''Gobinda Bezbaruah'', an educationist, established one High School each at Golaghat, [[Jorhat]] and [[Sivasagar]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/68320/12/12_conclusion.pdf|title=Report of progress of education in Assam, page 223}}</ref>

As a part of technical education, a system of industrial apprenticeship was introduced initially from the ''Williamson Trust Fund''. George Williamson (Senior) of Golaghat,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/68320/12/12_conclusion.pdf|title=Report of progress of education in Assam - Technical education and Industrial apprenticeship, page 226}}</ref> renowned tea planter bequeathed an amount of ₹1lack in his will that amounted to £10,000 at that time "for educational purposes combined with, schools of industry and art of the province" and "in the establishment of small libraries" both in English and Vernacular languages at the schools.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Xn8IAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA115|title=Annual report on the administration of the Bengal Presidency| page=115|work=The Bengal Secretariat Press|year=1868}}</ref> To suggest the best means of utilizing the bequest, the Chief Commissioner held a meeting on 15 August 1887<ref>{{cite web|url=http://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/68320/12/12_conclusion.pdf|title=Report of progress of education in Assam, page 226}}</ref> where it was unanimously resolved that an amount of ₹7,000 be set apart for public libraries and another amount of ₹14,000 be appropriated or the establishment of two schools at Golaghat and Jorhat to be named Williamson schools.<ref>AS Proceedings Home A, 1902 January Nos 124-127, Notes J. Donald 10 Dec 1901</ref>

The wave of evolving education institutions propagated the idea to establish a premier school in Golaghat that would not only contribute to the development of its citizens, but would also play a role to enrich the regional language, Asamiya. The educationalist Dinanath Bezbaruah and his team then took the project for establishing a senior secondary school, and finally in the year 1886, the Bezbarauah Higher Secondary School was founded in Golaghat.
