In the educational development of Idukki District De Paul E.M.H.S.S., Thodupuzha, has a unique place. No other institutions of this kind can ever claim such a credit. When the school is marching its 50th year of service, it is keeping up the same glamour and reputation in the very start with which it attracted the minds of people far and near. It is the Vincentian Community that came forward to Thodupuzha with the idea of De Paul English Medium School to impart quality education. It was started in 1964 on a beautiful hill near to the heart of Thodupuzha town. The people irrespective of cast, creed and religion, welcomed the idea of the school and took to their hearts and encouraged and helped in every way possible to develop and strengthen it. Sri M. M. Mathew, Moongamackal (Rtd. R.D.D) is specially to be remembered among them. His help, co-operation and direction are invaluable in this attempt. Today after 46 years, Depauleans are rendering valuable services in key positions everywhere, in the State and abroad. They have only good things to speak about De Paul and good feelings to share with anyone. They show an eagerness to reveal that De Paul is behind all their achievement and gains in life. Over the past 46 years DePaul has been carrying with it a unique record which, perhaps, De Paul alone can claim. From the very beginning to this day, it has kept up the record of 100% pass in the S.S.L.C. Examination unbroken, Now the 40th batch is coming out.
