History

The S.D. High School building, completed in 1906, initially housed the first-ever college, named Sadiq Egerton College Bahawalpur, within the territory stretching from Bahawalpur to Sadiqabad and Mandi Mcleod Ganj in the Bahawalnagar district.^[1] It bore the names of the late Nawab Muhammad Sadiq Khan Abbasi and Robert Eyles Egerton, then Lt Governor of Punjab.^[1] Following the college's relocation in 1952-53, the building was repurposed for the S.D. High School, which moved from the nearby Government Technical High School.^[1] It was initially known as Sadiq Darul Aqama.^[4]

The building has a clock that was made by the Bing Bang Company of Britain.^[5] The school was inaugurated by Louis Dane on February 13, 1911, and is named after him and Nawab of Bahawalpur.^[5]
