First principal S.S. Dogbe transferred from St. Francis Teacher Training College in Hohoe in the Volta Region. In 1972, the training college was changed into a secondary school. After the change, a new principal, Tordzro, was appointed. He was assisted by Dick Ametewee.

The Ministry of Education made the decision to reject some Teacher Training Colleges in Ghana in 1971 and Dzodze Training College was one of them. Students of the training college were transferred to the Akatsi Teacher Training College, and only the last batch of teachers were left. Admission of secondary school students began in the 1971–1972 academic year.

The school has a library, science resource center, computer laboratory, visual arts workshop, boarding facility, and a standard playing field.
