St. Monica’s school was founded in 1892 by the Church Missionary Society (CMS) under the leadership of Mrs. Edith Ashley Warner. It was first a Sunday school and then a modern school where newly married women went to learn home craft, home management and the demands of married life. Later, the school metamorphosed into a Grade 11 Teachers Training College, first bearing the name “Women Teachers college, (WTC) Ogbunike.” At the end of the Nigeria civil war in 1970, the college was taken over by the Government. The name was changed to Teacher’s Training College, Ogbunike (TTC) in 1975. It was again handed back to the Anglican Mission in September, 1983 by the old Anambra state Government. The Church was mandated by an edict administer, run and maintain discipline. In January 1988, the school became an All Girls Secondary School when the Teachers Grade 11 programme was phased out under late Sir Isaac Ubakanwa as principal. In 1990 the school’s name became St Monica’s College, Ogbunike. The change was done by Chief Nduka Eya, the then Hon. Commissioner for Education, Anambra state, during the tenure of Lady Catherine U. Ezigbo as principal. St. Monica’s College is situated in Ifite village, Ogbunike near the Ogbunike cave in a serene environment conducive for learning. The college has infrastructures and facilities for learning. These include thirty classrooms, science lab, Biology lab, Chemistry lab, Physics Laboratory; Basic Technology laboratory, Home Economics laboratory, Agriculture laboratory, Fine Arts laboratory, Music Rooms, Health and Physical Education Room, Library and well equipped Computer laboratory with internet facilities. It also has a well-furnished and functional sick bay. The school has a site plan and it is survey. The school is completely fenced and has a security outfit. The Diamond security limited at work both day and night. The college is 99% boarding with 10 hostels, each of which can comfortably accommodate not less than 120 students. The moto of the school is “God our Hope and strength” while the school color is white and mauve (purple). Visiting days are the third Saturdays of every month. Academically the college is outstanding as can be seen in its performance in BECE, WASSCE and NECO examination results. The school is also very examination friendly. Our performance in academic competitions at the Local Government, Zonal, State and National levels has been marvelous. Same goes for sporting and other extracurricular competitions. Morally, the students are sound and well behaved as can be seen by the type of behavior they exhibit even while at home on holidays. The college has produced many graduates in various fields of academic endeavors. The pioneer principal of the secondary school programme was late Sir Isaac Ubakanwa (January 1988 - August 1989). He was succeeded by Lady Catherine U. Ezigbo (Jan 1989 – Aug 2005) other principals of the school include: Mrs. Ngozi C. Kanemeh (October 2005 – September 2008) Lady Chidi N Okafor (October 2005 – September 2008) Mrs. Ngozi C. Kanemeh (September 2008 – July 2014). Mrs. Adeline O.
