Krobo Girls' Presbyterian Senior High School, popularly known as KROGISS, is an all -emale 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.
