It enrolled twenty two (22) students that were drawn from the larger Meru District, Central Province and North Eastern Province.

In 1959, the school became an Independent Government School registered under schedule 1 of Education Act under the sponsorship of DEB. The school became a double streamed school and had a population of 115 boys in 1969. in the same year it was granted the status of a high school enrolling the first ‘A’ level class of thirty students adding up to a total population of 353 boys.
