Netrakona High School is playing an important role in spreading education and developing the latent talent of young children and teenagers in the area.

Alhaj Matior Rahman Khan, a prominent educationist and social worker of Satpai area of Netrakona district headquarters, started activities as a night school in 1969 with the aim of spreading education in the area. In 1971, the night school was upgraded to a full-fledged high school.

Its name is Netrakona High School. Saidur Rahman took charge of the school as the head teacher. Since that time, the school has been working tirelessly for the expansion of education in the area. After Syedur Rahman retired from the post of head teacher, Md. Nuruzzaman took over the post of head teacher on 7th February 2011. After taking charge, he focused on various problems and infrastructure development of the school.

First of all, 33 percent of the disputed land of the school's main grounds was included with the school as per the settlement of the case. Later he built 120 feet boundary wall and main gate in stages.

At his initiative, he built a three-storey building and 2 tin shed houses on the east side at a cost of about 1 crore rupees. He installed 16 CC cameras around the school for the safety of the students of the school, planted different types of flower gardens as well as trees to protect and enhance the environment. At present the school has 15 teachers and 5 employees for over 400 students.

Apart from education, the students of the school have been making a mark of success at the local and national level in cultural activities including sports. Among them, the students of the school won 4 consecutive championships in Kabaddi, 1 time champion and 2nd place in swimming at the national level.

The head teacher of the school Md Nuruzzaman retired on August 11 this year. Habiullah Khan Pathan, the assistant headmaster of the school, has taken over as the acting headmaster. The outgoing head teacher Md. Nuruzzaman said, "I have tried to educate the students with good education and make them enlightened people all my life. I hope that the present Acting Headmaster will work tirelessly for the education of the students and the overall development of the school.
