The rests of schools were middle schools and primary schools.Kyaunggyi was the only one high school for many decades.

Daw Pike Mi (  1951-1976 as Head Mistress )

New Basic Education High School No,2 was opened in 1990 s. So our Kyaunggyi was named No 1 BEHS . Daw Pike Mi , the most senior head mistress , was a native of the land .Working under her guidence , school discipline was good and the examination result were equally good . Although she showed her kindness to her staff and students ,she never forget to take action against their disobedience.As a mark of honour to her ,therefore,the assemble hall was named Daw Pike Mi Hall recently .
