Linda High school lies about two kilometers south-east of Livingstone City. It was opened in 1963 with only three members of staff: Mr. Kombe (Head), Mr. AM Sibetta and Mr. RCW Pelly. A total of over 400 members of staff have since passed through the school. In the early years, most member of staff were expatriates as there was a serious shortage of manpower soon after Independence. From a meager teaching staff of three in 1963, by 1973 the number of teaching staff had swelled to over 38. Despite this positive trend, most of the Zambian teachers that were taking over the teaching posts were not as qualified as most of the expatriate teachers.
