"Fr. Denzil Keating SJ started Holy Family High School in 1944 as a parish institution in an old single-storied structure. The school’s first headmistress was Ms. Maud D’Costa. The school began with just 5 classrooms and 80 students. In 1963, a new school building adjoining the Holy Family Church was inaugurated. The building was extended in the 1970s to have multiple stories, with new classrooms and a school hall. A mini stadium was built on the old school ground using funds donated by Mr. Jitendra Shah. A few years later, the building became too small to cater to the growing number of parishioners. The building was sold and a more spacious one constructed, with its own playground, on a plot of land not far away."
