The initial structures were 2 classroom blocks, 3 dormitories and 2 teachers’ houses.
 
The School was established by the combined efforts of the missionaries and some Zambian Christians to provide secondary education for teenage girls of Kasempa and surrounding districts in North-western Province. This school was started in order to met the spiritual, social, physical and academic needs of the young women in the immediate community.By that time, the nation of Zambia was looking for ways and means to education the young women who had scarcely any western education at all.

So, the opening of the School was a good opportunity to provide this.On the eve of the political independence of Zambia, towards the end of 1964, a group of leading Christians in the then Africa Evangelical Fellowship (AEF) and in the Christian Brethren Missions, requested the leaders of AEF if they would open a secondary school for girls in Kasempa. The missionaries were assured that the government of the Republic of Zambia would be willing to support such a project. So it was approved. A committee was set up in 1965 to work towards this establishment.Since the Mukinge Mission Station was under AEF, working with the national Church, the Evangelical Church in Zambia, the present site of the school was chosen while it was still hilly.
