The inception of Hermon English School was laid by the Local Church of Bungmual with the objective of ensuring the physical and spiritual development of a child after Evangelical Baptist Headquarter erstwhile Evangelical Convention Church (ECC) decided to downsize/ close down several mission schools with the goal of depending on the government run schools wherever feasible.
