History edit

The school was initially set up by Chilanga Cement (currently Lafarge Cement plc) in the 1940s. It was later handed over to the government. Under government control the school began to offer grade one to nine education. In 1998, it stopped offering primary education and became a secondary school, offering only grades eight up to grade twelve. In 2005, it stopped offering grade eight and nine education services; with this in mind, it became a high school in 2006, offering only grade ten to twelve education.

The school was headed for 16 years by one headteacher who in 2008 retired and was replaced by another one.
