A school born in the heart of Turkana, raising daughters of faith, mind and courage — in the spirit of St. Daniel Comboni.
St. Daniel Comboni Girls High School is one of the secondary schools established under the leadership of the Bishop of Lodwar and the Comboni Missionaries. We were founded as part of a broader effort to expand quality, faith-based secondary education for girls in Turkana County — a region long underserved.
Today, the school is a double-stream institution welcoming young women from Lodwar, the wider Turkana region and beyond. Together with sister institutions like Our Lady Queen of Peace Girls School and St. Augustine Boys School, we form part of the Diocese of Lodwar's commitment to lifting up the people of this land through education.
We are proudly Catholic, proudly Kenyan, and proudly Turkana — a place where the rich identity of our girls is celebrated even as they are prepared for a global future.
Three statements that anchor every decision we make, every lesson we teach, and every girl we form.
To be a centre of excellence forming young African women into faith-filled, intellectually competent and morally upright leaders of tomorrow.
To provide quality, holistic, Christ-centred secondary education that nurtures girls in faith, scholarship, discipline and service — in the spirit of St. Daniel Comboni.
"Faith · Knowledge · Service"
The three threads we weave into every girl who calls Comboni home.
— Bishop Dominic Kimengich, formerly of the Diocese of Lodwar
From a small dream in the Diocese of Lodwar to a thriving school of hundreds — here are the milestones.
Under the leadership of the Bishop of Lodwar and the Comboni Missionaries, St. Daniel Comboni Girls High School opens its doors to its first intake — part of a fresh push to expand girls' secondary education in Turkana.
The school grows into Forms I and II, with the first cohorts of girls finding their feet in the classrooms, dormitories and chapel that would shape their adolescence.
The school grows into a double-stream institution, projecting toward a full enrolment of around 320 girls — making us one of the foremost girls' schools in the Diocese of Lodwar.
Today we are a vibrant community of girls, teachers, sisters and priests — committed to forming the next generation of African women leaders in faith, scholarship and service.
We follow the Kenyan national curriculum (CBC/KCSE) and round it out with co-curricular life that grows the whole girl.
Biology, Chemistry, Physics & Mathematics — taught with practicals in well-equipped laboratories.
History & Government, Geography and Christian Religious Education.
English, Kiswahili and optional French — strong written and oral expression.
Digital literacy and computer studies prepare girls for a connected world.
Choir, drama club and music — every girl has a voice and a stage.
Athletics, ball games and indoor games. We've represented Turkana County with distinction.
YCS, Scripture Union, Environment Club, Debate, Journalism and more.
A structured, safe and joyful dormitory life — a home away from home.
A dedicated team of sisters, priests and lay leaders walks daily with our girls.
A Comboni Sister with over 20 years in girls' education, leading the school's vision with prayerful courage.

A motherly presence to every girl in the dormitories — and the heartbeat of our boarding life.
