Due to colonialism, the school had to close in the year 1972.The school has then been closed for all those years and an effort was made to open the school again, and it came into operation in the year 2003.The school started off as a junior Secondary school, by offering only grade 8 to 10. In 2006, the school added grade 11 to its curriculum and then grade 12 in 2007 and that is when it came to be called a high school.
