<br />
==History==<br />
This school for girls was opened on 10 November 1880 by Mother Elias from [[Ireland]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Our History |url=http://www.holyangelstvm.org/history.aspx |website=www.holyangelstvm.org |accessdate=25 October 2020}} {{dead link|date=February 2026}}</ref> She was the foundress of the Congregation of the Carmelite Religious (C.C.R).<br />

In 1888, the school was the first girls' school in [[South India]] to present students for the Matriculation Examination of [[Madras University]]. In 1896, the school was upgraded to a second-grade college. But this college section was closed in 1906.<br />
