History

The school was founded on March 15, 1974. The students participated in S.S.C. (Secondary School Certificate) examination (O-level equivalent) for the first time in 1975.

During the first 23 years, the school kept its growth as a boy's high school for day shift only. Following demands and requests, a morning shift for girls was added in 1997.

To make room for more students the administration established a new building on the occasion of the 20th anniversary in 1995.

In 2012, a regular committee was formed by the direct vote of guardians and teachers.
