'''Don Bosco Higher Secondary School''' is a [[Private school|private]], [[English-medium education|English-medium]], [[Mixed-sex education|co-educational]] school in [[Irinjalakuda]], [[Kerala]], India. It was established in March 1962 on the invitation of the late Bishop of [[Thrissur]], George Alappatt.
It began as an English-medium and a [[Malayalam]]-medium school and the Government sanctioned it as an unaided but recognised school on 6 May 1962. The Malayalam-medium section was discontinued later. A boarding section was started on 2 January 1963 but was closed later on. In 1987, an indoor stadium was built to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of the Institution.
