The school was established as a Middle School by the then Government of Jammu and Kashmir with just 50 students and 5 teachers. Recognizing the need for girls' education in the region, the school was upgraded to a High School and finally achieved Higher Secondary status . Since its inception, the institution has been a pioneer in promoting female literacy and empowerment in a region where traditional norms often limited educational opportunities for girls.

The school has consistently produced outstanding academic results in JKBOSE examinations. In the last decade alone, over 2,500 students have passed their 10th and 12th standard examinations with distinction. Our students have secured top positions at the district level multiple times, with several students featuring in the top 50 list of the entire Kashmir division.
