Nyambaria Boys High School in Nyamira County may be the best school in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) tests in 2022.
The school achieved a mean grade point average of 10.89, outperforming the traditional academic behemoths that had dominated others for years.
This year’s exams were taken by 488 students at the institution.
28 candidates received straight As, while 383 finalists received an A- on average.
Seventy-six individuals received a B+ (plus), while only one received a B. (plain).
The outstanding success has been attributed to Boaz Owino, the school’s principal who formerly led the illustrious Maranda Boys High School.

Opus Dei: Institutional success is ALL about leadership. Boaz Owino was well cut out for his job. A realist, disciplinarian and feared none. He leaves a stellar record in his tour of duty. Maranda started wobbling immediately he left.

“We are very happy about the results and I want to thank the Almighty God. We worked as a team last year and I want to appreciate our teachers and students. It was team work. The students we had were disciplined and we invested a lot in them. We are taking Cardinal Otunga to where it belongs,” said Owino.
The principal also lauded the partnership among all the stakeholders in the school, including the board of management, parents, chaplaincy and officers from the Ministry of Education, among others.
