History
In the late sixties, Kutlwanong Township had four primary Schools, Icoseng Thusanong, Marobe and Impucuko. When learners passed STD 6 with a second class, to further their studies they either had to go to Lebogang High School in Thabong (Welkom) or to a boarding school elsewhere.

There was a dire need for a secondary school in Kutlwanong. Meeting after meeting was held to address this issue, until a delegation of concerned parents and school committee members approached the Circuit Inspector's Office to request a secondary school. There were neither physical nor human resources available, however, there were learners who could not continue with their high school education because of financial constraints or because they had passed with a "Third class." In 1970 this group of learners was sent to Lebogang High School to start a high school and because of the perseverance of the parents the school was named Phehello.
