History
editThe school was established in 1982. It is the second school owned by Hong Kong Taoist Association and it is the first secondary school of the association. At the time it was established, it was a band 5 secondary school with a modest reputation. But after the hard work of previous students, the school progressively made great improvements in examinations and it changed to a band 2 school later in 1997. After that, it has transformed into a band 1 school in 2003. Since then, the school has attained good exam results every year and has been one of the top schools in Hong Kong. Also, it is recognized as the best school in New Territories.[citation needed] In 2007, 2008, and 2015, four students got 10A and 1 got 9 5** results in the Public Examination (HKCE)(HKAL)(HKDSE).
