In 1854 Bhonsale regime came to an end and British regime started. The Government did not have a separate education department till 1862. The Missionary schools existed but people were reluctant to send their children to these schools on the ground of religion.But the need for an English education was increasingly felt. There was a primary school that was being run by Shri T. N. Ahirrao, Shri Nanasaheb Chitnavis etc. On 1st April 1869 English classes were added to it and the school was named 'The Grant-in-Aid Anglo-Vernacular School' under the Head Mastership of Shri B.D. Agashe. Shri B.K.Bose & Gangadhar Chitnavis were closely associated with the management of the school.

Now a college was Needed and so the Morris College was started by the same society in 1885. The Society conducted it for 26 years and in 1911 it handed it Over to the Government.In the year 1893 the name of the school was changed to 'Neil-City High School' as Neil then Commissioner of Nagpur had helped the society a lot in procuring land and accommodation for the school.
