Way back in 1919, Dr. F.M. North, an American missionary, conceived the idea of developing some educational / vocational institutes in India to train the marginalized young people for their upliftment. It was in 1926 that Dr. F. M. North’s vision came into action and Ingraham Institute on 40 acres of land in a small village of Bekhrabad 2 km – from the Ghaziabad town was purchased. A Teacher’s Training School and a small dispensary was started on this land. In 1949, a Technical Department was started by Rev J.W. Finny. Mr. G.C. Pace the First Principal / Director of Ingraham Institute, after serving from 1926 to 1950 handed over his charge to Dr. J. N. Hollister who in 1953 was replaced by Mr. Henry Lacy an American. In the fall of 1958, Mr. H.A. Lacy, handed over the Directorship of the institute to Mr. Douglous Pickett, who in 1963 established a High School affiliated to U.P. Board.
