## History

Suankularb Wittayalai Nonthaburi School is an extra-large secondary school for boys and girls situated in Pakkred, Nonthaburi Province. The school was founded on March 30, 1978 by Mr. Pasuk Maneejak. It was originally named Suankularb Wittayalai 2 (Pasuk Maneejak) in honour of the person that donated the land, Mr. Pasuk and Mrs. Ngek Maneejak. During its construction, the students enrolled in this school were temporarily sent to other schools. The boys were sent to Suankularb Wittayalai School in Bangkok and the girls were sent to Satri Nonthaburi School.
In 1979, the Ministry of Education changed the school's name from Suankularb Wittayalai 2 to Suankularb Wittayalai Nonthaburi School. Not long after that, HRH Princess Sirindhorn named four buildings after the initials of her name as ST1, ST2, ST3, and ST4 respectively. Sirindharalai meeting hall was also named after her. The buildings were inaugurated twice by the princess herself on August 13, 1981 and November 9, 1992. On July 11, 2012, the Princess came to inaugurate King Rama V monument.
Through the collaborative efforts of the school board, faculty and staff, Suankularb Wittayalai Nonthaburi School is recognized locally and internationally.
