St. Joseph’s School, now popularly known as Little Flower School Salempur, had a very humble beginning in a rented house on 18th April, 1984, a few months prior to the constitution of the diocese of Gorakhpur, aiming at the pastoral, educational and social apostolate.
On 20th March 1986 His Lordship Bishop Dominic Kokkatt CST laid the foundation stone for the priest house.  On 3rd July 1987 the mission station was handed over to the Little Flower Congregation. Then the St. Joseph’s English medium school was converted to Hindi medium school in 1988. In 1999 the school was shifted to the newly built premise from the temporary school and was renamed as the Little Flower School.
Realizing the great scope and future of the school and considering the starving need of the people for good education the school was converted to English Medium in 1996.
  As a result of the relentless hard work of our pioneer Fathers and the cooperation of the people the school was affiliated to ICSE board of Examination and attained recognition for the same in May 25, 2001. With God’s blessings the school got Permanent Affiliation from the Council in the year 2008. The school celebrated her Silver Jubilee on 30th November, 2011.
