Makutkasat Temple first gave a plot of land to build the junior high school as at that time many more students who finished their primary school needed to continue to study in junior high school, but there were no any other places nearby areas available for them. The purpose of founding the school was originally for only boy students, so Wat Makutkasat School used to be the school for boy.
