The Army Public School Udhampur is one of the first five 10+2 co-educational school established under the aegis of Army Welfare Education Society. It was started in July 1980 with a strength of 316 students from Nursery to class IX. The school was then known as Army High School, Udhampur. During the academic session 1981-82, class X was added in the academic session 1985-86, class XI was started.

In1985, the Carmel Convent School, which was run by the Bishop of Catholic Church, was taken over by the army and re-designated as Army School No-2, Udhampur. Subsequently, during 1986, for reasons of better education, administration and economy, Army School No-2 was merged and raised to the status of Army Public School Udhampur.
