The Kalabari Girls High School (KGHS) Alumni Foundation was established to first and foremost re-establish the school, which was closed in September of 2008. When the school re-opens, the Foundation will strive to develop a distinguished mid-level technical and technological support curriculum that will encourage and empower the students to compete globally. Achieving this will depend on a framework of bringing to bear lifelong collective ideas, vision, core values, goals, strengths and character in ways that will not only inspire the students to succeed but also empower the Alumni community.
