Lugulu Girls Background.
The history of Lugulu girls can be traced back to 1913 when it was established as a mixed primary school by the Quaker Missionaries when they visited Lugulu. Being founded by Quaker Missionaries, the school was under the management and sponsorship of Friends same as the Friends School Kamusinga.
In 1953, the school underwent a huge transition, admitting only girls after all the boys were phased out. After becoming a girl’s primary school, in 1955 the school transitioned again to becoming a boarding school for girls.
Eight years later, the primary was also phased out paving the way for the secondary school. This gave birth to Lugulu Girls High School earning a category of Provincial school.
In 2011, the then Minister of Education gave a directive to promote some of the provincial schools that were posting impressive performance to National School.
Initially, the country only had 18 national schools, and following the 2011 promotion that also led to the promotion of Lugulu Girls, Kenya now has over 100 national secondary schools that are categorized in clusters.
Being the best performing, the school always aims at admitting students from all counties but their priority is the students with higher primary grades and students’ background is normally not their concern.
