St. Anthony Boys’ Kitale History
The Kitale-based school was founded in 1969 as Kitale Day Secondary School. The school later burned down forcing the Form 3 and 4s to relocate to St. Joseph Teachers Training College.
Following the shift, St. Joseph Boys Secondary School was inaugurated and the college moved to Mosoriott. In 1987, the school was rebuilt with the introduction of A-level art classes. Moreover, the school also introduced partial boarding for students who were willing to go to boarding school.
With time the school grew to a full boarding school and in 2000 they moved to a three-stream class due to the increase of the students. As of now, the school is at four-stream classes with an average of over 1000 students.
