The main thrust of the school was the option for the poor focusing on the girl child;thus Mukaro Girls Secondary.

The first group of 35 girls was enrolled on 28 January 1958 and Sister Eunan and Sister Christophora were the first teachers being head and deputy respectively. Both were Holy Cross sisters. At the peak of the liberation struggle,the school was closed in 1979 and was re-opened in January 1980 with the first enrolment of few boys as day scholars from the local community. The boy population was boosted by the establishment of the St Kizito minor Seminary by his Lordship Sekuru Bhasera in January 2007. The school opened its doors for A-Level classes in 2005.
