The anniversary event brought together alumni, education stakeholders, leaders, students, and members of the public to honour one of Kenya’s oldest and most respected learning institutions.
Founded in 1906 by the Church Missionary Society, the school has grown into a symbol of discipline, resilience, and academic distinction.
Speaking during the celebrations, leaders described Maseno School as more than just an educational institution, calling it a living monument to the enduring power of education and nation building.
For over a century, generations of students have passed through the school’s gates carrying the hopes and dreams of families and communities across the country.
During that period, the institution has produced influential leaders, scholars, clergy, scientists, civil servants, and professionals who have played key roles in shaping Kenya’s political, social and economic landscape.
As the school marked the historic milestone, a commitment was made to upgrade several learning facilities within the institution, some of which date back to the early years of its establishment.
