About Chokoneze Sec. Tech. School
Tracing our journey from the historic Teacher Training College era and the bold delegation to Enugu in 1977, to our present status as a powerhouse of technical and academic brilliance.
HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL
Chokoneze Secondary Technical School, Ezinihitte Mbaise LGA • Motto: "Arise and Shine"
The Teacher Training College Phase
Pre-1977, Chokoneze had a flourishing Teacher Training College. When government policy phased out the college, a courageous team of philanthropists in the community took a bold step to ensure that educational activity in the community did not die out.
The Delegation to Enugu & Ministerial Inspection
The community leaders embarked on a historic delegation to Enugu, the capital of the then East Central State, when Mr. Edberth G. Nwogu was the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Education. This was to revisit and champion the continuity of the educational institution in their community.
Inception & Pioneer Administration
On 1ˢᵗ September 1977, the school officially came into existence and was called Chokoneze Secondary Technical School, Ezinihitte. The pioneer principal was Mr. E.J. Eleke. The school started with the admission of Class 1 students.
Pioneer West African School Certificate Examination (WASCE)
Demonstrating rapid growth and academic readiness, 219 students sat for the West African School Certificate Examination (WASCE) in 1982, setting a strong precedent for academic excellence in the region.
Administrative Evolution & Succession
The school has passed through very dedicated and experienced school administrators and principals:
- 2005/2006: The Imo State school system disarticulated schools into J.S. section and S.S. section, operating with two principals for the respective sections.
- 2010: The school was later re-articulated under one principal, Mr. A.U. Osuagwu, who served until the 2014/2015 academic year.
- 2014/2015: Mr. Canice Oguike took over the reins as principal.
- 2015/2016 – 2023: The school was again disarticulated in the 2015/2016 session with Mrs. Nwachukwu Veronica serving as principal of the senior section until 2023.
- 2023 – Present: Succeeded by the current leadership under the Office of the Principal, which continues to uphold the noble vision, discipline, and technical heritage of the school.
