Zhemgang Primary School was established in 1958 with fewer than a hundred students and two teachers. Since then, the school has played a vital role in educating the children of Khengrig Namsum in particular and the central region in general. It was during the reign of the late Druk Gyalpo Jigme Dorji Wangchuck that this school was established to provide modern education to the people of Khengrig Namsum—Upper Kheng, Middle Kheng, and Lower Kheng.

The first Head Teacher, Mr. Kinley Tshering, was the pioneer of the school. He started the school with the help of a Lopen named Minjur. It remained a primary school until its relocation to a new site in 2003.

In 2003, after the completion of three modern school buildings at a place called Wam-Takpa, the school was shifted to this site (the present location of the school) and upgraded to a lower secondary school. However, in 2023, it was downgraded again to a primary school.
