Institution guide

History

St. Mary's Girls Senior High, Konongo was established on 6 February 1950 by Catholic missionary sisters known as the Sister Servants of the Holy Spirit.

A current school profile records that the school began with ten girls and two Reverend Sisters, Jane and Rosette.

The school developed into a public girls' day-and-boarding school while retaining its Catholic identity.

That beginning matters because the school was created at a time when far fewer girls reached secondary education. Its growth is part of a much wider change in who gets to occupy classrooms, laboratories and leadership roles.

The motto Scientia, Integritas, Servitium brings together knowledge, integrity and service rather than treating examination results as enough on their own.
