Makoura College was established in 1968 to cope with an expanding youth population in the Masterton district.
It began with a roll of approximately 800, and was governed by the same Board of Governors as nearby Wairarapa College.

The college was sited on the eastern side of Masterton, close to several primary schools, and a then government-owned printing press.

During the Tomorrow's Schools reforms of the late 1980s, a stand-alone Board of Trustees was instated.
