Kimmins High School was founded by Miss Alice Emilie Kimmins who was known as “The mother of Panchgani.” Ms. Kimmins arrived in India in 1885 working first in Lahore and then at Varanasi and later in the Zenana Mission High School in Girgaum, Mumbai. There was a protestant school run for day students in Panchgani by Miss Evans. Ms. Ashlin bought the goodwill of school and Miss Kimmins arrived in Panchgani in February 1898 with more students , mainly boys. The boys stayed at “The Ark” and the seven girl boarders with their staff settled into the American Mission Bunglow (later know as Little House). Miss Kimmins immediately started to plan for the expansion of the school.

Miss Kimmins had a wonderful influence on her pupils who always valued and treasured what kimmins taught them. One who knew her intimately said, “It was her daily prayer that her girls should grow into fine noble women loving Christ and being useful in the world.” Her prayers were not in vain. In 1896, Mumbai was struck with two disasters, of famine and plague. And the outcomes of these two disasters are relevant to the foundation of Kimmins. Ms. Kimmins had begun to dream a school in the hills for the European children to save them from the exhausting climate of Mumbai. She shared her idea with Miss Mary Ashlin. But there were no funds to start a school. It was Miss Mary Ashlin who offered a liberal grant of Rs.300/- per month to finance the school for 2 years. The teachers in her school held her in high esteem. She referred to her teachers as “Co-workers” and Miss Kimmins always treated them with respect, their troubles were her troubles, their joys were her joys. It was real privilege to work with her. She was an incorrigible optimist and a person of great faith and was positively disposed whatever difficulties she faced. Miss. Kimmins was a versatile person and her interests were wide and varied and not confined to the School alone. She read widely and took keen interest in political and social issues of her times. A large number of her friends and students scattered around the country mourned her passing away while thanking God for her life. People of Panchgani, especially the Anglo-Indian community had never had a more selfless and truer friend than Miss Kimmins who served them selflessly with dedication for three decades. The Kimmins High School, Panchgani stands as an undying monument in her memory.
