Machakos Boys High School History

The school started in a modest way in 1915 as a Boys’ Primary School at the current Machakos Girls grounds. It was known as African Government School. It was not until 1939 that it changed into a boys Secondary School. In 1946 the first batch of girls were admitted making it a mixed school. It used to take students up to Form 2. The Principal of the school then was called Mr. Martin making the school to be referred to by the locals as “KwaMatingi” a corruption of for “At Martins”.

Later the need to separate the girls from the boys arose and in 1950 the boys were relocated to the present site of Machakos School. It admitted African students only and hence the name “GovernmentAfricanBoysSchool”. The first Principal who was a Foreigner (1950) was called Crow ford who stayed for 4 years only.

In 2018’s KCSE exams, the school had a mean score of 7.59 . This was quite a drop from what is expected from them but they are determined to go back to be the winning team. However, the school has always been known to excel in their KCSE examinations.
