The school was established on April 12, 1945 as an Ehime Prefectural Fisheries School with a capacity of 50 people.

Ehime Maru and USS Greeneville collision
The school operated the vessel Ehime Maru (4th generation), which the USS Greenville, a U.S. Navy submarine, struck and sank on February 9, 2001 during the Ehime Maru and USS Greeneville collision.
The school acquired a new Ehime Maru (5th generation) ship with settlement money from the U.S. Navy. The new ship sailed to Hawaii in 2003. In Hawaii, the principal at the time of the disaster, Kazumitsu Joko (上甲 一光 Jōkō Kazumitsu), read a message from Moriyuki Kato (加戸 守行 Kato Moriyuki), the governor of Ehime Prefecture, addressed to the Hawaiian people.[5]
