Aitzaz Hasan Shaheed High School
Aitzaz Hasan Shaheed High School, formerly "Government High School Ibrahim Zai", is a government secondary school in the community of Hangu,[1] within Hangu District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.[2]
The school gained fame after Aitzaz Hasan—a 15-year-old student of this school—tackled a suicide bomber at the entrance gates of the school on January 6, 2014, and was fatally injured.[2] His sacrifice saved the lives of hundreds of students of the school. On January 14, the chief minister's representatives announced that the school was renamed after him.[3]
