School history[]

The school was founded in 2000, following a request by the local community for a mission boarding school. Seeing the need to start a high school, Fr. Chazunguza in collaboration with Wolfgang Tamm (the then Education secretary of the Chinhoyi Diocese) established the school.^{[citation needed]} The foundation of the mission high school was approved by the Ministry of Education on the basis that it was to be a proper^{[clarification needed]} boarding school. Fr. Mabiri replaced Fr. Chazunguza and served from 2000 till May 2002. Karl Hermann took over in 2004.^{[citation needed]}
