The history of Cantonment Public School & College can be traced to 1977 when the foundation stone was laid by Brig M.A Latif, the then Commander of Northern Zone of Bangladesh in Rangpur Cantonment. The institution was organized for the education of the children of Cantonment officers and local elite people. School Section began in 1978, College Section in 1981 and Degree Level in 1995. The English Medium Section was introduced in 1993. It was later named as 'The Millennium Stars' as a separate institution and continued functioning under the same Principal up to October 2010 when a new Principal was recruited and a separate Governing Body was formed.
