Sironga Girls High School History
Sironga Girls well known as “Maroon Girls” was founded in 1968 in Sironga Village, Bogichora Ward located in West Mugirangi Constituency, Nyamira County. Their roots start with the Seventh Day Adventists which implanted strong Christian values to the school.
Before independence Gusii region was among the regions that had neglected the girl child education until 1965 when the likes of Nyabururu Girls were founded. In 1968, the Sironga community, under the initiative of Pastor Johnson Ageki Mainda Omenge founded the Girls’ school with SDA as the sponsor.
Since there was no physical structure to accommodate the girls, the primary headmaster at the time Peterson Meroke availed one classroom. 45 girls were admitted and the school began in February 1968.
With the contribution of the community and other well-wishers, the primary school was relocated handing over the rest of the structure to the secondary school in 1975. To make it a boarding school temporary structures were set up to serve as dormitories.
Since then the school has grown to become one of the biggest schools in Kenya hosting over 1500 students.
