History

The school was created as an Asian school for O-level boys and co-ed A-level (girls and boys) on 19 February 1962. This was concurrent with the conversion of Ngara Girls' High School a boy's and girls school into an all-girls school. The headmaster along with all the male teaching staff and the boys were moved to the site of the present school location. The school was officially inaugurated by Hon. Lawrence G. Sagini, Minister of Education. In 1963 the school enrolled its first four black students. The school is currently headed by Principal Partick Maritim and deputy principal Eric Wandambusi.
