History

St. John's High School at Amalapuram, named after St. John the Apostle, was established in 1968 by the Catholic Diocese of Vijayawada as the first Catholic school in the area of Konaseema. The teaching staff consisted of lay persons. It is coeducational and relies on benefactors for its existence. Since 1976 Amalapuram has been a part of the newly formed Diocese of Eluru.^{[citation needed]}

In 1985 Loyola English Medium Primary School (LKG to X std.) was opened on the same 4.5 acres (1.8 ha), including the parish church.

In 2002 the Jesuits acceded to the Bishop's request and assumed responsibility for the two schools.^{[citation needed]}
