School History

MGHS, AS POPULARLY CALLED, WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1879 BY THE WESLEYAN METHODIST MISSION, AND SITUATED ALONG BROAD STREET, LAGOS. THE AIMS OF THE FOUNDING FATHERS, ACCORDING TO THE RECORDS, WERE TO GIVE THE GIRLS, "THE HIGHEST LITERARY TRAINING, OF WHICH THEY WERE CAPABLE AND ALSO, TO TEACH THEM SUCH DOMESTIC ARTS, AS COOKING, SEWING, MENDING, LAUNDRY ETC., TO BECOME WIVES AND GOOD MOTHERS" IN 1980, THE SCHOOL WAS TAKEN OVER BY THE LAGOS STATE GOVERNMENT. IN 2001, THE SCHOOL WAS RETURNED TO METHODIST CHURCH NIGERIA BY THE LAGOS STATE GOVERNMENT, UNDER THE ADMINISTRATION OF GOVERNOR EMERITUS, ASIWAJU BOLA AHMED TINUBU. IT IS CERTAIN THAT THE AGE OLD TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE IS STILL SUSTAINED IN THE SCHOOL, HENCE, THE SLOGAN TAKEN FROM THE INITIAL LETTERS OF THE SCHOOLS NAME, MUST GAIN HIGH STANDARD.
