History of TML

On January 19th 1953, the Trinidad Muslim League opened doors to accommodate thirty-seven (37) students and four (4) teachers

at the Masjid Hall at Prince Albert Street. Mr. Roy Joseph, the late President Dr Noor Hassanali and the then-school manager Mr. Mohammed Yakoob Khan formally opened the school. The first principal Mr. Murtaza Baksh set the pace for success and the school population grew. In 1984, the then Prime Minister Mr George Chambers became aware of the cramped conditions at the school and so it was Mr Sheraze Muradali, the longest-serving school manager (1976 to 2021) found a new site between Roodal and Farah Street to build our school.

On 6th November 1991, the school moved to our current location under the then principal Mr Harry Narine. By then the school population was over 500 pupils. Today 32 years later, we have a proud legacy of success. With a student population of 447 and 19 teachers, we have continued to excel, even in the face of the Covid pandemic.
