Sironga Girls High School is a national girls’ boarding secondary school located in Nyamira County.

The school, founded on a strong religious background rooted in the faith of the Adventists, was established in July 1968 by the then Vice President, the late Daniel Toroitich Arap Moi, as a Harambee Mixed Secondary School.

The school became a girls-only secondary school in 1990. Sironga Girls School was promoted to the national level in 2014. The school has been nicknamed ‘Maroon Palace’ due to the maroon color of its uniform.

Each year, the school admits over 50o students based on academic merit and school preference, in accordance with Kenya’s national education placement policy. Previously, admissions were based on the results of the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) examination.

However, from 2023 onwards, selection has transitioned to the Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) under the new Competency-Based Education (CBE) framework. Sironga Girls has a current enrolment of over 2800 students.
