REGINA PACIS GIRLS SECONDARY SCHOOL - Abuja, Nigeria

Like the biblical mustard seed, Regina Pacis Girls’ Secondary school started from a very small and humble beginning with a lot of challenges but today has grown into a big citadel of learning producing people in various professions of life.

The word ‘Regina Pacis’ is a Latin word meaning ‘Queen of Peace’. It is one among the numerous titles recognized by the Catholic Church used in addressing the Blessed Virgin Mary who is the mother of Jesus Christ. It is in recognition of the role she has been playing as a mother and bringer of peace both in the church and in the world that when the idea of establishing a sound Girls Secondary School in the FCT came up that the name was adopted.

Lagos to Abuja in 1991. The idea to establish this sound, quality and high moral standard academy was conceived by His Eminence, Late Dominic Cardinal Ekandem, the then Arch Bishop of Abuja in 1991.

As a catholic school, the Regina Pacis College community is known for peace, love and unity. The students on the other hand have the principal as their role model. To maintain this moral standard, the school has kept on with the religious activities synonymous with the Catholic Church. It is worthy of emulation for other schools on the pattern of training in Regina Pacis College.

The Parents teachers Association of the school was inaugurated in 1992. Dr. and Mrs. L.I. Ofeogbu coordinated and assisted the management in setting up the P.T.A.
