The School's Background

Makueni Boys High school opened its doors to its first students in March 1966. The main mission of the school at the time was to educate the children from families who had settled in the region from the other parts of Ukambani, notably the larger Machakos District by then. The foundation stone for the first building in the school was laid down on the 20th September 1965 by the then Vice President, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga. The current Chief Principal is Mr. Francis Mutua and the BOM Chairman is Mr. Alex Mutuku. The school has acreage of approximately 46 acres, It is situated 2 kms from Wote town, Makueni County Headquarters along Wote-Makindu Road.

From a very humble beginning, the school established itself very fast from a single stream, it moved to two streams in the early1970’s. By the late 1970’s, a third stream was established and a single “A” level class started offering science subjects only. When the A- level class was phased out in 1989, a fourth stream was introduced.

Currently, the school has 10 streams with a total enrolment of 2106 students. It has grown in leaps and bounds in two generations to become a beacon of academic excellence, not just in the greater Ukambani region but even nationally. The school has made tremendous contribution to the education sector in Kenya. Its alumni boast of a galaxy of successful politicians, lawyers, engineers, civil servants, teachers, the clergy and business men among other distinguished careers. In the recent times, the school has produced academic superstars, some of whom have been ranked in the top 100 students in KCSE exams nationally.

In 2011, the school was upgraded to be a national school. The first batch after upgrading was admitted in January, 2012. The cohort sat for their national examination in October/November 2015 and posted a mean score of 9.584. This is the best mean the school has ever posted since inception under the current 8-4-4 system and the best in Makueni County for the year. The school is sponsored by the African Inland Church (AIC) but it takes care of all spiritual needs for all students in the varied faiths. The school has fairly good infrastructure, although most of it require refurbishment. There is need for additional academic infrastructural facilities such as modern science laboratories, extension of the assembly hall to accommodate all students in one sitting, additional staff houses, another fully equipped ultra modern library and an ultra modern Administration block.
