Bishop Gatimu Ngandu Girls High School populary known as BeeGee was founded in the 1960s by the late Bishop Caesar Gatimu and was run by the Comboni mission in Karatina, Nyeri County, Kenya. It took the name of the area where it was situated, i.e., Ngandu Girls' High School, and the name was later changed to honour its founder. The late Sister Nazarena Zonta and her deputy ran the school until 1983. Lay principals (or headmistresses) have headed the school since.
