Around 1995, the College fell on academic evil days, and performed poorly in external examinations. Determined to change the status quo, the principal and staff put their shoulders to the wheel and worked tirelessly till the College scored 100% in 1998. Since then, the college has maintained an enviable academic standard, and has placed herself firmly on an enviable pedestal among her peers.
