The school was founded by Charles Heerey, the then Archbishop of Onitsha in 1962. Construction of school building began in 1966 when Fr. A. Byne was appointed as the director of the centre by the archbishop.
Academics
The school was invited in 2023 by the Oxford Royale Academy to participate in their summer programme games in the United Kingdom.
In 2018, a team of five students from Regina Pacis developed the Fake Drug Detection app (FD-Detector) which won them the Junior Gold Awards in the World Technovation Challenge in Silicon Valley, US. The students were Promise Nnalue, Jessica Osita, Nwabuaku Ossai, Adaeze Onuigbo, and Vivian Okoye.
In 2023, a team invented "Smart Sticks", a device for blind people to detect obstacles not less than 120 cm away from a blind person. It was displayed during the pastoral visit of Valerian Okeke. The invention also received recognition from the Obi of Onitsha Alfred Achebe.

Why this record matters
The phrase “secondary school in Anambra State, Nigeria” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Contemporary correspondence, administrative files and participant testimony can test how later narratives organized the event or institution. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q136377716. Authority coordinates are 6.154, 6.798. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1962, 1966, 2023 and 2018.
Institutional narratives can privilege the records that survived while minimizing voices that were never formally collected. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
