Current State
The school was established during the colonial era and no major renovations since then, although it has many building structures, they appear to be falling apart putting human lives in danger.The school obtains most of its funding from the government and most often not enough to cover all the school expenses, it is currently in a sorry state of total dilapidation; old facilities on the verge of collapse, a sewerage system that is not functioning properly, lack of accommodation for teachers, inadequate laboratory facilities and the lack of hall prove to be major challenges at the school.
The state of affair at the school has forced the school management to scurry around for possible remedies to the scenario. With blessings from the school board, management and the community around the school, an idea for the hosting of a reunion to raise funds for the renovation of their collapsing buildings was born.
Notable Alumni
The school has produced many young and old professionals among them a number of nurses, prominent politicians, lawyers, engineers, journalists, musicians, sport personalities and many others holding critical positions and making a valuable contribution to the country’s development and Vision 2030.
