It is known for churning out the most beautiful female media personalities, especially the beauties who anchor news in Kiswahili. Star of the Sea High School, a secondary school in Mombasa, was founded in 1909 by the French ‘Our Lady of Africa’ Catholic sisters, also called ‘The White Sisters.’ It started as a mixed school before becoming a girl’s school in 1964. By 1978, it had become a fully government-maintained school with the Catholic church as its sponsor. In 1981, with the introduction of ‘A’ level sciences, Star of the Sea was upgraded to a high school.
