The school, according to "The Herald 2012 Magazine, in the article 'Meet the man with a Vision' was founded by Mr. Kisirikko Christopher. In an exclusive interview, he admitted having been a qualified teacher with a dream to see people get basic education in order to survive in this competitive world. He founded the school in 1967 and government took it over in ten years later in 1977. At the time, there was no other secondary school in Entebbe Municipality.
