The school was founded in 1921.[4] It was promoted to Madhya Maha Vidyalayam status in 1946.[5] The school, like most schools in the north and east of Sri Lanka, was severely affected by the Sri Lankan Civil War. The school was the site of Sri Lanka's first suicide attack on 5 July 1987 when Captain Miller drove a small truck laden with explosives into the Sri Lankan Army camp at the school.[6] [7]
