History [edit]

The school was under civilian administration, but since 2000 it has been under the command and control of Pakistan Navy.

The hostels were extended to increase capacity to twice the number of residents, a new hostel "Jam Sadiq" was built and the central mess extended to accommodate the increase in student population from 300 to 550 during his term. For staff and teaching faculty, housing colonies and a primary school was build to accommodate them with their families within the boundaries.
