History

The school was initially named as Tung Wah Group of Hospitals Number Fifteen School soon after its establishment in 1987, considering the school is the fifteenth secondary school established by Tung Wah Group of Hospitals. The school was then bestowed its current name from Tung Wah Group of Hospital after receiving donation from family of Lo Kon-ting, founder of a Jewellery company, under the name of Lo Wing Yip Tong.
Shortly after suffering a stroke, Yim Chin-ming, then-principal of the school, passed away on 11 May 2013. He was succeeded by Lam Chi-ming, then-vice-principal of Tung Wah Group of Hospitals Kap Yan Directors' College, in October 2013. Lam is the incumbent principal of the school.
