History
The school started operation on 3 April,1880 as a minor school. After a short while it was named as Graham English High School after the name of District Magistrate of Mymensingh Zilla. Then school authority sought and received financial help from Nawab Bahadur Syed Nawab Ali Chowdhury (Bengali: নবাব বাহাদুর সৈয়দ নওয়াব আলী চৌধুরী), then Zamindar of Dhanbari; he aided with operational costs for two years.
Bindu Basini Roy Chowdhurany (Bengali: বিন্দুবাসিনী রায় চৌধুরানী), Zamindar of Santosh then aided the operation of the school and it was renamed to Bindu Basini High School as recognition of her support. She carried the responsibility until she formed a trust in 1910 and handed over the responsibility to the Trust Board. After the death of Mrs Cowdhurany her sons Pramath Nath Roy Chowdhury (Bengali: প্রমথ নাথ রায় চৌধুরী) and Sir Monmouth Nath Roy Chowdury (Bengali: স্যার মন্মথ নাথ রায় চৌধুরী) patronized the school, they established facilities such as building, laboratory and library. In 1996 Bindubashini Govt Boys high Tangail achieved the status of best high school in Bangladesh.
