Li Ka-shing, renowned Hong Kong business magnate, investor and philanthropist, made significant donations to construct the school's campus in 1982 and upgrade the school's facilities, including air-conditioning system of the school hall, in 1997. In 2006, Li made another donation to build a new annex for the school and improve its facilities and equipment. Hence, the school was named after him.
