DAV Public Senior Secondary School in Kotkapura, Punjab, was established in 1983 and is affiliated with CBSE (Affiliation No. 1630101). It is managed by the DAV College Managing Committee in New Delhi. Over the years, the school has gained a reputation for providing quality education to students and nurturing their overall growth. The school's primary focus is on building strong personalities and developing students who are academically sound and committed to serving society. When the school first opened, it had only 100 students, but it has now grown to accommodate 1900 students under the leadership of Principal Dr. Rajveer Singh Kang, who took over in 2022.

Under his leadership, the school has made significant improvements to its infrastructure, including science labs, Atal Tinkering Lab, mathematics lab, and two computer labs for junior and senior sections. The school has also installed speakers, cameras, and smart boards to enhance the teaching-learning process. Indoor and outdoor sports facilities are also available to students. In addition to academic excellence, the school encourages students to learn moral values, such as gratitude and respect for cows, by encouraging them to donate jaggery, bait, and other eatables on their birthdays instead of distributing candies to other students.

Thanks to the dedication and hard work of the teaching staff and the head of the institution, as well as the support of Chairman (LMC) Sh. H. R. Gandhar, the school's CBSE board results have steadily improved over the years.
