St. Mary Gorretty’s Dede Girls KCSE Success: A Story of Courage, Hard Work, and Dreams Fulfilled

By Godfrey Wamalwa 

For St. Mary Gorretty’s Dede Girls’ High School, the 2025 KCSE results are more than numbers—they are a story of courage, perseverance, and dreams that refused to be dimmed. The school recorded a mean grade of 9.055 (Grade B), a remarkable rise from 7.708 (Grade B–) in 2024, a leap that tells of countless hours of hard work, silent sacrifices, and unwavering faith in the power of education. Every grade, every mark, is a testament to the belief that these young girls could reach heights once thought impossible.

The 2025 results tell a story of brilliance and resilience. 99.22 per cent of students scored C+ and above, proving that dedication can rewrite destinies. Among the results were 7 A–, 42 B+, 40 B, and 30 B–, and remarkably, no student scored below C. Behind these numbers lie stories of late nights, burning candles, whispered encouragement, and teachers who refused to let any learner falter. These results are a victory of spirit as much as of intellect.

At the heart of this transformation is Senior Principal Mrs. Margaret Nyawina, a leader whose vision, compassion, and relentless drive have inspired everyone around her. Mrs. Nyawina’s leadership is not just about administration—it is about heart. She walks the corridors with purpose, listens to students’ fears, celebrates their triumphs, and challenges them to rise above every limitation. Her guidance has been the lighthouse in stormy times, showing the girls that their dreams are valid and worth every effort.

Under her mentorship, teachers became more than instructors—they became guardians of hope, molding minds and character alike. Parents found reassurance in her unwavering dedication, seeing their daughters transform into confident, disciplined, and ambitious young women. The 2025 KCSE results are not merely a reflection of academics—they are a living tribute to Mrs. Nyawina’s extraordinary leadership, a beacon of what visionary guidance can achieve.

The impact of this success ripples far beyond the school. For the girls, it is proof that their struggles, sacrifices, and determination were not in vain. For families, it is pride and joy made real. For the community, it is a reminder that hope can flourish even in the most challenging circumstances. St. Mary Gorretty’s Dede Girls’ High School has become a symbol—a symbol that dreams nurtured with love, discipline, and belief will always soar.

As celebrations continue, one truth shines brighter than any grade: excellence is not given—it is earned with heart, courage, and unwavering faith. St. Mary Gorretty’s Dede Girls has shown the world that when leadership inspires, and determination fuels effort, even the impossible can become reality.
