Principal's Message
The magnificently designed Firefly School and College stand proudly on the Dhaka-Mirpur Road in the heart of Mirpur Town. It accommodates about 2256 students in two shifts.
In an era of information and communication technology, due emphasis should be given on imparting knowledge on information technology along with high standard general education in order to make our students worthy citizens of the present high tech world. With this end in view, Firefly School and College has opened a website so that everybody including students and ex-students of this college can be well informed of all the information and activities of the college through the internet.
In addition, the college is on the verge of thorough digitization. The college accounts, library, admission procedure, compilation of results and preparation of students' progress report are going to be digitized. This will ensure easy access to required information and bring about a greater degree of transparency and accountability in overall administration of the college.
