It was started at the request of the District Collector, Shri Rajamani, IAS and the Superintendent of Police, Shri Subramaniam, IPS. They felt the need for an English Medium School, run by Catholics, in the backward areas. They approached Bishop Januarius CMI with a request to create the school. He put forward the matter to Mother General, Mother Rose Mary SD.

The land required for the establishment of the school was provided by Government and on 14 November 1964 the school came into existence. In 1979 the school was given permanent recognition by the Andhra Pradesh Government.
