In the course of the Counter Reformation , Franciscans settled in Geseke in 1637 . The plan to set up a high school ran into various problems. There were, on the one hand, the reservations of the Geseke women's monastery and reservations of the city council, and on the other, the effects of the Thirty Years' War . After long negotiations, the school was founded in 1687. At first the high school had five teachers. Financing problems led to the closure in 1704. A comparison of the parties involved, city and order, and the initiative of various citizens led to the reopening in 1717. Between 1727 and 1775, as well as between 1793 and 1804, philosophy could also be studied in addition to graduation. In the middle of the 18th century the number of students was 75. As in the grammar schools in Attendorn and Arnsberg , there were theater performances and passion plays in the 18th century.
Following the example of the school reforms in the spirit of the Catholic Enlightenment , as implemented by Franz von Fürstenberg in the Duchy of Münster , reforms also took place in the Duchy of Westphalia and thus in the Geseker grammar school at the time of Landdrosten Franz Wilhelm von Spiegel .
The school was initially closed in 1804 in the course of secularization. During the Hessian rule, the school was downgraded to a citizen school. In this, elements of the elementary school were combined with a secondary school education and the tradition of the old school of scholars. The Latin school soon broke away from the elementary school and was referred to as a higher middle school as early as 1828 and soon afterwards as a higher school. In the further course this developed again into a high school. In the 19th and 20th centuries, the school was housed several times in different buildings. In 1969 a new school was built on Wichburgastraße. Classes in the new building began on August 25, 1969 with 500 students in 18 classes. The new building was designed for a continuous three-way movement. However, the school quickly grew into a continuous four-tier structure, so that the space available at the neighboring Dr. Adenauer primary school was used. Today the school has six courses throughout and some with seven courses.
Ulrich Ledwinka has been the headmaster since 2008, his predecessor was Joachim Dohle. The school was previously run by Herrm Sollmann, Marieluise Beumling and Karl Wennemar.
