2017
It was the will of God Almighty that there should be an institution aimed at helping young minds to develop sense of self independence and good moral conduct. The fulfillment of this prophecy was made manifest on the 16th of September, 2017 when we had our first seven pioneering students from Lagos and Ibadan (Bernard Wealth, Bernard Success, Okah Paschal, Osanebi Alexander, Uzoma Immaculate, Nwenyi Angel and Ndubuizu Augustine).
Before the end of the first term that same year, we had another new set of students which made the total number of our pioneering students twelve in number (Jikeme Charlse, Igbozuruike Michael, Gaazo Agatha, Gaazo Benedicta and Emeh Francis).

Innocent Osareme Offeimu SDV (Bursar/Dean of studies) while the brothers (on regency) in charge of the students were Bros. Ogah Thomas SDV (Assistant House master) and Paul Ihnuze SDV (House Master) and the teaching staffs, Mr. Oriwoh S.E., Mrs. Okoye Patient Agent, Miss. Deborah Poopola, Miss. Grace Abimbola and Mr. Bayode John with just classes of JSS 1-JSS 3.
