On this day in 1974, President Mzee Jomo Kenyatta officially opened Jomo Kenyatta High School in Bahati, Nakuru. Originally named Ngwataniro Shule ya Jomo Kenyatta, the institution was the vision of politician Dixon Kihika Kimani. Its inauguration, held just weeks before the general election, marked a milestone for education in the Rift Valley. Starting as a mixed boarding school on a 78-acre tract, it has since evolved into two prestigious autonomous schools for boys and girls. Today, we honour this legacy of academic empowerment that continues to shape the leaders of Nakuru County and beyond.
