Cadet College Kohat is a military high school for boys grades eight through twelve. The high school is located in the outskirts of Kohat, Pakistan.
History
In Pakistan, Cadet Colleges were introduced by late Field Marshal, Muhammad Ayub Khan and these were initially established at Hasanabdal, Kohat and Petaro.
In pursuance of the recommendations of the Commission on National Education of the defunct Govt. of West Pakistan decided to establish another Cadet College to be the third in the province.
In recognition of the military services of the people of the area, Mr. Fateh Khan Bandial, the then Deputy Commissioner, Kohat, requested late Malik Amir Muhammad Khan , H.Pk, H.Q.A., the then Governor of West Pakistan that a Cadet College should be established at Kohat. Mr Fateh Khan acquired 144 acres (0.58 km2) of land for the college. The foundation-stone was laid by late Malik Amir M. Khan, on 19 April,1964 and construction work was taken in hand vigorously.
The first entry of cadets was accepted in April, 1965. Academic work started in this College with 58 cadets and one House i.e Jinnah House. Lt. Col. (Retd.) Faizullah Khattak (late) was the founder Principal. The college owes its success and prosperity to his sincere and consistent efforts.
Although the college does not prepare its students for a purely Military career, its worth mentioning that the cadets of this institution have surpassed other institutions in obtaining commission in the Armed Forces and others fields of life. The college has emerged to become Pakistan's one of the best institution.
