History
The school was founded in 2042 BS (1985/86). In 2072 BS (2015) the Ministry of Education chose it, then called Yuwa Sahavagita Higher Secondary School, as the national winner of its best community school award. According to Edusanjal's report on the awards, national winners received Rs 200,000.
The school needed rebuilding after the April 2015 Gorkha earthquake. The China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation (CFPA) chose Yuba Sahabhagita from a Ministry of Education list of about 8,000 schools needing reconstruction, and funded the rebuild with Suning Group Company Limited. The Kathmandu Post reported that the new building was handed over in September 2017, and described it as the first school permanently rebuilt with Chinese support after the earthquake. The handover was attended by the chief executive of the National Reconstruction Authority and officials from the Chinese Embassy.
At the time of the handover, about 700 students were using the new facility, according to the Kathmandu Post.
