Kumasi Girls is located at Abrepo, a suburb of Kumasi in the Ashanti region of Ghana. The school is adjacent to the County hospital.
The school was started as a private secondary school for girls by Caxton Williams, a Sierra Leonean, in 1953.
Kumasi Girls' Senior High School (KUGISS) was first situated at Susanso, near Bomso Junction on the Kumasi-Accra road.
In the early 1960s, the proprietor moved the school to Old Tafo, where it remained in rented premises until 1992 when it was moved to its present and permanent site at Abrepo. The government took over the administration of the school in 1963.
