History Clarence High School was founded in 1914 by the Redwood brothers, Alfred and Walter, two Englishmen, who named it after their own school in Somerset, United Kingdom. The Redwoods left Bangalore in the 1960s and were no longer involved in the institution’s management. The school’s alumni raised money to construct the Flack Memorial Auditorium, named after one of the school’s former principals, A C Flack, who came from Australia in 1946. In 2014, Clarence High School became the fifth Anglo-Indian origin school in Bangalore to reach the 100-year milestone, after St Joseph’s (1858), Bishop Cotton (1865), Cathedrals (1866) and Baldwin (1880) schools. Fr Jose Aikara CM, chairman of the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE), inaugurated the centenary celebrations. School heads Some of the former school principals are Mr. A. C. Flack, Dr David Coates, Mr. M. T. Thomas, and Mr. Benny Joseph.
