The institution started as a technical college in 1992 and was subsequently closed down due to a lack of interest in technical education. The school was later re-opened as a technical and commercial high school, and is currently a Quintile 3 Dinaledi school catering for learners from Grades 8 to 12. Notably, more than two thirds of the learners at the school are taking Mathematics and Physical Science. The school also attracts learners from neighbouring communities because of its unique status of being the only school offering technical subjects within a radius of 20 kilometres.
