Mugoiri Girls High School is one of the best performing schools located in Murang’a County. The school, which is sponsored by the Catholic Diocese of Murang,a, was founded by the Consolata Sisters in 1938.
It started with only four teachers, all of whom were nuns, and 25 students. The first headteacher was called Sister Zaveria Pasqualina. However, operations at the institution were disrupted by the events of World War II forcing the nuns to be confined at Mathari Mission Hospital.
