Nakuru Boys High School History.
Located in Nakuru town off Nakuru-Bahati Road, Nakuru was founded in 1927 by white settlers named Frances Scott High School. Colonial Governor Edward Willian Macleay Grigg was the one who launched the construction of the school to give white settler’s children education.
The school started as a boarding but still provided a day school program for students who lived around the school. Two decades down the line the school had grown in population and infrastructure, launching a swimming pool, numerous ruby pitches, football pitches, hockey and other sports fields.
On top of that, the school was also well-equipped with learning materials including a science and a unique weather station for geography students to take their practicals.
However, the reign of the colonialist didn’t last for more than five decades since its establishment. Following, Kenya gaining independence in 1963, changes were made including the name of the school, from Francis Scott to Nakuru High School with black students earning the right to be admitted to the school.
However, the first black student to join the school suffered racial discrimination from Asian students. In 1964, the school opened its doors to black girls becoming the first co-educational school in the whole country. As it grew and Africans started gaining power, black teachers were also employed and with time Africans went on to take over the school and later separated the boys from girls, girls joined Nakuru Girls High School while boys remained in Nakuru High now Nakuru Boys High school.
