Krobo Girls' Senior High School is an all female second cycle institution in Odumasi Krobo in the Eastern Region of Ghana.[1] [2]

History

The School was founded in March 1927 by Scottish Missionaries.[3] Krobo Girls’ Senior High School was founded by female Scottish Missionaries in March 1927, as a Middle School for girls. A two-year teacher training college for women was added to the girls school in 1944 on experimental basis under the accelerated plan of the government.

The college was then constituted a Certificate B Teacher Training College for women in 1951 under the management of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana.

In 1962, the two-year teacher training college was changed to a four-year Certificate A Teacher Training College for women and in September 1973, the Krobo Girls Middle School was phased out while the training college was converted to a girls secondary school, under the consolidation of Teacher Education Programme by the Ministry of Education.
