The school was founded in 1963. On 1 July 1974 there was a bus accident that involved a number of pupils from the school and ten were killed. Today there is a plaque recording the Lourenco Marques Bus disaster and its victims in the school grounds. The plaque was unveiled thirty years after the accident in 2009. On 8 June 1976 the South African Police attempted to arrest
Enos Ngutshane who was the local leader of the
South African Students Movement. He had written a letter of protest to the Minister for Education to protest that subjects like history, geography and mathematics would be taught through the medium of Afrikaans. The police failed to apprehend him and the police were stoned and a Volkswagen Beetle was set on fire by the students. Ngutshane was not arrested until a week later and he was in court when the
Soweto Uprising started. Students had gathered at Naledi High School to walk to
Morris Isaacson High School in
Jabavu. The plan was to gather at
Orlando Stadium but before that the police arrived and school children were shot. ==Alumni==
