Dear Esteemed Goretti Sisters,
It is with great joy, gratitude, and a deep sense of responsibility that I welcome you to the official website of the St. Maria Goretti Girls’ Grammar School Old Girls Association (SMAGOGA).
SMAGOGA is more than an alumni association; it is a global sisterhood of women bound by shared values, lifelong friendships, and a common commitment to excellence, integrity, service, and the advancement of the girl child. From the classrooms of our beloved alma mater have emerged women who are making remarkable contributions across education, business, government, healthcare, technology, entrepreneurship, academia, and community development all over the world.
As we step into a new chapter of our collective journey, our vision is clear:
“To build a vibrant, globally connected, and impact-driven sisterhood that empowers every Goretti girl and strengthens our alma mater for generations to come.”
Our strategic focus is anchored on four key pillars:
- Educate – supporting academic excellence, scholarships, digital learning, and educational opportunities for our students.
- Empower – creating mentorship, leadership, career development, entrepreneurship, and skills acquisition pathways for students and alumni.
- Elevate – promoting excellence, inclusion, visibility, and opportunities for Goretti women across all stages of life and career.
- Sustain – strengthening governance, communication, partnerships, welfare systems, and institutional capacity to ensure long-term impact.
In the coming years, SMAGOGA will be pursuing transformative initiatives including:
- SMAGOGA Tertiary Scholarship Scheme
- Global Mentoring Circles
- Career Guidance and Counselling Programme
- Cisco Digital Training Centre Activation
- School Clubs and Leadership Development Programmes
- Skills Acquisition and Enterprise Hub
- Alumni Welfare and Support Initiatives
- School Security and Learning Environment Enhancement Projects
We are committed to transparency, accountability, innovation, and active engagement with our members across Nigeria and the diaspora. Through our digital platforms, quarterly Fireside Chats, committees, branch activities, and global partnerships, we are creating new opportunities for every Goretti Old Girl to connect, contribute, and make a meaningful difference.
Whether you graduated recently or decades ago, SMAGOGA remains your home.
I warmly invite every Goretti Old Girl, wherever you may be in the world, to:
- Join the Association
