Contact #: +231777561154
Location: New Kru Town

The D. Twe Memorial High School (formerly William R. Tolbert Jr. & Sr. High School) was founded April 14, 1975. The school was established as a result of a petition made by residents of the Borough of New Kru Town to the then President of the Republic of Liberia, William R. Tolbert, Jr. to build a school in the Borough of New Kru Town for the school-going children and residents. Accordingly, this would help reduce the high illiteracy rate in the Country and also curtail the high cost of transportation and difficulties students were faced with to leave from New Kru Town and its environs to attend the William V.S. Tubman High School in Sinkor, Monrovia. The petition was granted and approved by the then President of the Republic of Liberia, William R. Tolbert, Jr. which led to the construction and establishment of the school. The first Principal was Mr. Nyae, the late.

After the 1980 coup that brought the Military regime of Master Sargent Samuel K. Doe to power, the regime became uncomfortable with names associated with Americo-Liberians on public facility(ies) at that time in Liberia. As a result, the regime proposed the name of the first Governor of the Municipal Borough of New Kru Town, the late Hon. John Naklen to be named in honor of the school. Said proposal was rejected by majority members of the Elders and residents of the Borough. The name of the first Representative of the Borough, Honorable Dihdwo Twe was proposed by majority of the residents at that time and was accepted. Thus leaving the People’s Redemption Council with no alternative but to finally endorsed the name: D. Twe Memorial High School, the only public high school in New Kru Town and the Bushrod Island. Since then, the school has been providing quality education, leadership, and moral values to its students.
