Police Lines School and College, Rangpur (Bengali: পুলিশ লাইন্স স্কুল অ্যান্ড কলেজ, রংপুর; pronounced [PLSCR] ⓘ)[2] also known as PLSCR is an educational institution under the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, Dinajpur, located in the heart of Rangpur City.

History

Police Lines School and College, Rangpur, commenced its academic activities in 1986 under the supervision of Mominullah Patwari, the then Superintendent of Police (SP) of Rangpur District. The first batch of students graduated in 1989, with one student securing the top position in the humanities group under the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, Rajshahi. The institution, however, has its origins in 1954 as a primary school. Initially housed in a tin-shed building, it expanded with contributions from police officials and local donors.

In 1987, the school introduced a high school section, which received government affiliation in 1988. A kindergarten section was added in 1989 under the efforts of SP Syed Serajul Islam. In 1996, the institution expanded further with the addition of a higher secondary section, facilitated by SP M. A. Mabud.

The college infrastructure has grown over time. In 2006, SP Hasanul Haider established the college building.[1]
