Introduction
Government Secondary School (GSS) Gwoza was established in 1973 with 4 teaching staff and 72 pioneer
students. The students were from the entire former North Eastern
State of Nigeria.
They came from as far as Gembu in present Taraba state, Nguru in present Yobe state and Gombe. The present permanent site
of the school is located at the foot of the mountain along Maiduguri road in Gwoza in Borno State of Nigeria.
Gwoza Old Students Association (GWOSA)
GSS Gwoza passed out
many students since 1977 to date. Many of them moved into Universities, Polytechnics and Colleges to become Academics, Doctors,
Engineers, Lawyers and professionals in other disciplines. These old students have decided to come together in December 2005
to form and register what is now called ‘Gwoza Old Students Association (GWOSA)’.
The first National Convention and Annual General Meeting were held on 2nd and 3rd December, 2005. The convention was attended by nearly 500 old students who registered,
4 former Principals and the Deputy Governor of Borno State (represented by a Commissioner). National officers for GWOSA were elected.
