The school teachers were drawn from various parts of the world, but they were to be Christians called to serve in this part of Africa. On the field, two (2) qualified missionary teachers (one from Mukinge mission Station and the other from Mutanda Mission Station in Solwezi, 160km away) were released from Primary School work to come for this project. Another teacher came from a teacher training college in Zimbabwe (the then Southern Rhodesia). At that time, the Scottish Mission was run by then a young lady who had formerly served in a school for the blind in Malawi. By the Lord’s plan, a missionary on furlough from Zambia presented to her the challenge of this new school. So, Miss Lisbelt Hodnett returned to Africa to head Mukinge Girls’ Secondary School in 1966.

Since then a number of developments have taken place at Mukinge Girls’ secondary School including changes in infrastructure, administration of the School and its teaching staff. Initially, the school was predominantly staffed with missionary teachers (expatriate staff), but gradually a number of Zambian staff were employed to work at the school.For example, the first Zambian teacher came to the school in 1975, namely, Mr. Changula, who acted as Deputy Head Teacher for two years later. In addition to that, a number of graduate Mukinge Girls’ Secondary School came to teach at the school beginning in 1976 so that by 1983, there were five former Mukinge Girls on the teaching staff list one of whom was Mrs. Elaine Queen Sakapaji Changula.

Several other former Mukinge Girls have joined and left the School on transfer, promotion or resignation basis.In the early 1986, Mukinge Girls’ Secondary School had its first Zambian Head Teacher, namely, Mr. Mwanza who passed away in 1988 in a fatal road traffic accident. As more Zambian secondary school teachers were trained in the country, the composition of the staff at the School gradually changed from mostly expatriate missionary teachers to mostly Zambian. The last white missionary Head Teacher was Miss Dorothy Haile.
