About Cadet College Hasanabdal

Cadet College Hasanabdal is one of the finest high schools in Pakistan. It is the first cadet college in Pakistan and was established by the government of Punjab at the initiative of General Muhammad Ayub Khan, the then Commander In Chief of the Pakistan Army, originally to serve as a feeder institution to the Armed Services Academies. For this purpose, Military Wings were started in 1952 in Government College, Sahiwal and Islamia College, Peshawar. On the completion of buildings at the present location, the Military Wings were shifted to Hassan Abdal and the Cadet College started functioning as Punjab Cadet College in April 1954. In 1960, the government constituted a Board of Governors to exercise administrative control over the college. Hugh Catchpole was the founder Principal of the College.The college is located on the Rawalpindi/Peshawar road about 29 miles (48 km) from Rawalpindi/Islamabad, in natural surroundings near the junction of the National Highway and Hazara Trunk Road.
