SCHOOL’S BRIEF HISTORY

Kisumu Girls’ High School was built in 1962 as an off-shoot of Kisumu Boys High School. Originally it was a three streamed day school until 1977 when we started two harambee streams that were later taken over by the Ministry of Education. It is a public D.E.B. Girls’ high school.

Since its inception in 1962, the school has consistently performed well in National Examinations. Due to this stellar performance, the school was upgraded to National Status in 2012. Due to increase in demand for form one places, the school was re-registered as a six streamed institution in 2014. The sixth stream has reached form three and by 2017, the whole school will be six streamed. The school has a population of 1300 students.
