This school, founded in 1919, ran into difficulties in the mid-1990s when its student numbers began to decline sharply. Hundreds of students once attended school and further education programs here, including accounting-computer science, business, secretarial/languages, electromechanics, electrical installation technology, welding construction, and automotive technology.

After the first and second grades were abolished by order of the Minister of Education, student numbers reached a historic low around 2015, with only 65 students left, spread across various technical programs. The Flemish government then also cut off subsidies, making a permanent closure inevitable. Some of the school buildings were used for a while to provide adult education, but that too quickly ended. The school buildings have now been empty and neglected for many years.
