Reason For Loving Place
It is a testament to the goodness and solid creation of the school that since inception, MGHS opened her gates wide open to all and sundry, who sought knowledge within her walls, irrespective of their religious inclinations. Thus, the school has contributed a great deal to the education of a large section of generations within and outside the Lagos community and also beyond – Christians, non-Christians, Methodists and non-Methodists alike – thereby, encouraging religious tolerance. It was taken over by the Lagos State Government in 1980 and it saw an explosion in student intake without an improvement in school facilities to optimally cater for these students. In 2001, it was returned to her original owner, Methodist Church Nigeria who set out and succeeded to revert the school back to its glory old days.
