==History==

The descendants of [[Ali Amjad Khan]] donated {{convert|0.84|acres}} for the school.<ref name="history">{{cite web |script-title=bn:আলী আমজাদ সরকারি বালিকা উচ্চ বিদ্যালয়, মৌলভীবাজার: ইতিহাস |trans-title=Ali Amjad Government Girls High School, Moulvibazar: History |url=https://www.moulvibazar.gov.bd/bn/site/education_institute/VDvd-%E0%A6%86%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%80-%E0%A6%86%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A6-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%B0%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B0%E0%A6%BF-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A6%89%E0%A6%9A%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%9A-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%9F-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%8C%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%AD%E0%A7%80%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B0 |website=Moulvibazar District |access-date=8 July 2025}}</ref> It was founded in 1932<ref>{{cite book|editor-last=Rizvi|editor-first=S.

When the school outgrew it's original site, other philanthropists donated an additional {{convert|1.23|acres}}, which became the school's new campus.<ref name="history" /> In 1962, the school opened the Al-Haj Keramat Ali Girls' Hostel.<ref>{{cite news |title=Girls' Hostel Opened in Moulvi Bazar |url=https://gpa.eastview.com/crl/san/newspapers/paob19620112-01.1.3 |newspaper=Pakistan Observer |date=12 January 1962 |page=3}}</ref>

The school was provincialised in 1968. At the time, the expenditure of 350,000 Pakistani rupees ($73,500 in 1968) was approved for new construction, but two years later ground had yet to be broken.<ref>{{cite news |title=Slim Opportunity for Female Education at Moulvibazar |url=https://gpa.eastview.com/crl/san/newspapers/paob19700212-01.1.11 |newspaper=Pakistan Observer |date=12 February 1970 |page=11}}</ref> The ''Pakistan Observer'' reported that the hostel was in a "very deplorable condition". The headmistress was residing in a room of the science building because of the dilapidated state of her official accomodation. Classroom space was so limited that a large number of applicant pupils had to be turned away.<ref>{{cite news |title=Schooling Girls a Hard Task at Maulvibazar |url=https://gpa.eastview.com/crl/san/newspapers/paob19710217-01.1.11 |newspaper=Pakistan Observer |date=17 February 1971 |page=11}}</ref> The school also suffered from a teacher shortage for several years after provincialisation. In February 1971, one-third of its teaching positions were unfilled.<ref>{{cite news |title=Ali Amjad Girls' School Under-Staffed |url=https://gpa.eastview.com/crl/san/newspapers/paob19690801-01.1.13 |newspaper=Pakistan Observer |date=1 August 1969 |page=13}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Ali Amjad Girls School Lacks Adequate Teachers |url=https://gpa.eastview.com/crl/san/newspapers/paob19710203-01.1.11 |newspaper=Pakistan Observer |date=3 February 1971 |page=11}}</ref>

During the [[Bangladesh Liberation War]], the school was used as a Pakistan Army camp.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Hossain |first1=Ayub |last2=Haka |first2= |script-title=bn:মুক্তিযুদ্ধে আদিবাসী |title=Muktiyuddhe ādibāsī |url=https://archive.org/details/books-1_202107/%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%AF%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A7%E0%A7%87%20%E0%A6%86%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B8%E0%A7%80%20-%20%E0%A6%86%E0%A6%87%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%AC%20%E0%A6%B9%E0%A7%8B%E0%A6%B8%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%A8%2C%20%E0%A6%9A%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B0%E0%A7%81%20%E0%A6%B9%E0%A6%95/page/n203/mode/1up?q=%22%E0%A6%86%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%80+%E0%A6%86%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A6%22+%22%E0%A6%89%E0%A6%9A%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%9A+%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC%22 |year=2008 |publisher=Aithihya |isbn=978-7-01-930030-7 |page=211}}</ref>

All activities of the school were transferred to the new campus in 1980. Four years later, the Manu River flooded, destroying many of the library's books.<ref name="history" />
