Krobo Girls' Presbyterian Senior High School, popularly known as KROGISS, 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] as a middle school for girls. A two-year teacher training college for women was added to the girls' school in 1944 on an experimental basis under the accelerated plan of the government.
The college was 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. 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 the Teacher Education Programme by the Ministry of Education.

On October 22, 2025, Krobo Girls defeated St. Francis Xavier Junior Seminary and Business SHS, to qualify for a place in the one-eighth stage of the competition.[4]
