This is within the Eastern Province of Kenya. The student population comprises of Boys Only and the current status puts it as an Ordinary School. The learning option for students includes Boarding Only. Studies are carried out through a Kenyan based Curriculum.
The school began in 1947 as an intermediate school for gilrs boarding. In 1962, the school attained High school status and was named Embu Girls Secondary school headed by Dauford and later M/s P.Mulcahy Morgan.In the immediate neighborhood was Kangaru School-Boys secondary school.
It was noted that the girl’s school was developing progressively parallel numerically in physical structures but the academic level lagged behind the boys. It was then thought prudent to amalgamate the two school and create an environment of positive boys/girls competition forward push support and in every way challenge the better performance for all students. July 1973 brought about the amalgamation of the Embu girls and Kangaru School headed by one principal and two deputy principals.
After about ten years of prosperous merger, cracks of negativity began to show up in several forms including indiscipline, falling academic standards, unmanageability of the giant institution and the penetration of negative politics.
In November 1989, the two schools split to form Kangaru Girls and Kangaru Girls Secondary Schools. Today, Kangaru Girls School is a three-streamed Ex-Provincial/County Secondary School.
