History

A. Shipena Secondary School was founded in 1985 with about 700 pupils and 16 teachers. The following year on October 16, 1986, at 04:10 in the early morning the school was hit by a bomb on what was supposed to be the day it held its first prize giving ceremony to reward students who did well academically and in sports. Nobody was injured but the school's administration block was severely damaged, and the event had to be cancelled.[3]

In February 1987, the school received its first computer which was bought and put up for bids by a local radio programme. A. Shipena made the winning bid of N$1900,00 for a computer that cost N$35000,00.

The current Principal of the school is Moses Haufiku.

gollark: Wait, how come strings aren't unsigned char*s but just regular char*s?
gollark: You swap random elements until it's sorted.
