School history
Alliance Girls’ High School opened on 28 February 1948, when its first ten girls, selected from different provinces, were admitted. The school describes itself as Kenya’s first high school for African girls. It began at the intermediate school on the mission station at Thogoto, and in November 1950 it moved to its own site about a mile from the mission. It took the name Alliance Girls’ High School after independence.
Today it is a national public boarding school for girls in Kikuyu, Kiambu County, sponsored by the Presbyterian Church of East Africa. Its motto is “Walk in the Light”.
