The History Of The School

Falomo High School was founded in September 1981 bythe then governor of Lagos State,Alhaji Lateef Jakande.It was then known as Ireti Grammar School(School Two),Ikoyi with only a few students at its inception.Later the name of the school was changed to Ikoyi High Schoolin 1982.
The school occupied one of the buildings originally owned by Ireti Girls Primary School,Ikoyi.

As the number of the students'population increased,there was a need for more classrooms.Both the state government and the Rotary Club of Falomo provided the needed buildings which the school is presently sharing with three other schools.

At inception Mrs. A.M. Amene was appointed the first ever principal of the school and she started work with just six teachers.

Master Adeleke Adisa was appointed as the first Head Boy of the school while Miss Monica O. Amen was the first Head Girl.
The school presented the first set of students for theWAEC which result was impresive and encouraging indeed.

Falomo Senior High School was created in 2003 out of theold school due to the policy of the Lagos State government to separate the junior and senior schools inits effort to fulfil the idea of the Universal Basic Education.

Mr. R.L.Akande became the first principal of the Seniorschool while Mrs. Odunusi was made the principal of theJunior School.Mr.Akande guarded the ship of the schoolup until the 2006 when Mrs. C.A.Adeboye,formerly ofGovernment Senior College,Maroko, was brought to relieve him while he got transferred to GovernmentJunior College,Maroko.

Parents Plan To Get More Teachers For The School

Parents,at the last Parents' Forum expressed their desire to
get more teachers for the school in order for the school to
start teaching some of the subjects for which there are no
teacher in the school.

For some time now there have been shortage of teachers in the
school which has resulted in the students not being able to
choose subjects of their interest.The most affected are those
offering science subjects.

There is only one teacher teaching about seven hundred students
Biology and this have had its effects on the teacher's health
and productivity to some extent.

The school does not have teachers for Islamic Religious Knowledge
or Christian Religious Knowledge.This too is having
its effect as those who are truly interested in these
subjects are not provided for.

We look forward to seeing the Forum fulfilling its
promise very soon.

Parents Resolved To Pay =N= 1000 Levy Per Term

Parents at the last Parents' Forum held on Wednesday
24th June,2009 resolved to start paying the sum of
one thousand naira every term to be used in helping
the school whenever the need arises.

It was a unanimous decision because there were some
parents who refuse to pay that much.However, after a
the debate it was finally agreed that the amount should
now be one thousand naira per term beginning from
the 2009/10 academic session.

In addition to this, the Forum will now open its own
bank account with whichever bank agreed upon.Every
levy and contribution made by parents will henceforth
be kept in the account.

Parents' Forum Executives Elected

On June 2,2009 the inaugural meeting of the Parents'Forum of
the was held at the school's premises in Ikoyi.The meeting
was presided by the Principal,Mrs. C.A.Adeboye.

The Principal noticed that only a handful of the parents were
present at the day's meeting and she expressed her disappointment
that most of the parents decided to stay away from the meeting for
reasons best known to them.

This unconcerned attitude of the parents made the Principal to first
propose that the meeting should be called off till such a time when
there would be an encouraging number of parents around.

The parents,however,prevailed on her to commence the meeting because
those who were at the meeting left so many things to come to the day's
meeting and the only way they could be encouraged to be present another
time was for the meeting to hold.

After a lengthy deliberation,during which the Principal told the gathering
about the decision of the Lagos State Government to get the parents involved
in the educational system through the Parent'Forum as against the old PTA,a
new set of Executives were elected to run the affairs of the FORUM for the
next two years.

The following are the members of the Executive Committee of the Parents'Forum:

1.Chairman - Mr. Peter Abel

2.Vice Chairman - Mrs. R. Obafemi

3.Secretary - Mrs. Judith Buhari

4.Financial Sec. - Mr. Adetunji Gafaar

5.Publicity Sec.- Mr.Godsgift Abakpa

6.Treasurer - Mrs. Faniran

7.Ex-Officio _ Mrs. Comfort Zottor
