The concept to have the school of current stature was of the Health and Education Minister, Lyonpo Sangay Ngedup. The construction work was assigned to Druk Construction Company and work actually began on 16th November, 2000. The project tendered cost of Nu. 54,814,900.40/- and it is to be completed within the project duration of 30 months. The school was officially taken over by the Trashi Yangtse Dzongkhag Administration on 8th March 2005 after a complete verification of the infrastructures by a team led by Dasho Dzongdag Dorji Norbu. The first principal was Mr. Phuntsho Wangdi who had served from 2004 to 2008.
