Mohandas Gandhi graduated from Rajkot High School in 1887 at age 18. The Alfred High School (also known as Mohandas Gandhi High School) in Rajkot is one of the oldest institutions in India today. This school was constructed during British rule in India by political agent Kernel Singh, and was the first English school in the saurashtra (region). Originally called Rajkot English School, it was founded on October 17, 1853, and later became a full fledged high school. By 1868 it came to be known as Rajkot High School, and was named Alfred High School in 1907.
