The Past Principals of the school include Mr. Nuhu Hassan (1997-2009), Dr. S.A. Oladipo (2009-2011), Mrs. Adora E. Ojo (2011-2017), Dr. M.B. Malik (2017 - 2021) and Mr. K.O Amusan (2021 till date).

The school has also won numerous national and state laurels -- especially in basketball -- since its establishment.[5]
