History[]

Since late 2015 Rangitikei College's principal is Tony Booker, who formerly had been the deputy principal of Nga Tawa Diocesan School and St Peter's College, Palmerston North. Until 2015 the principal was Karene Biggs.[1] Prime Minister John Key visited the school in September 2015, along with Rangitikei MP Ian McKelvie, and gave a speech encouraging students to have confidence in their abilities and to follow their goals.[3]

In 2016 the school introduced an "Inspire Programme" to provide customised learning and mentoring to the most motivated students.[1]
