Discipline of the school and the support from the community is exemplary, not to mention the sponsorship from the church of God. “This school is deemed for greatness and standards set are a clear sign for growth in the school. We shall be always available for any consultations if need be for the betterment of these children,” implode Mudeheli.

Mr Joseck Barasa, deputy principal gave credit to his colleagues for the support and resilience shown towards academic improvement.

He encouraged them to remain steadfast in ensuring that students’ progress is the core aspect and improve the community lives since a majority of the students come from within.
