School history
Kapsabet High School dates from 1925. Building began on 4 February that year on land beside the eastern edge of Kapsabet township, and by March prospective students had put up enough mud-and-wattle huts for the school to open. It was first called the Governmental Nandi Industrial School. Work on its first permanent building began in November 1926.
An elementary teacher-training course started in 1942, and in 1948 the school became a junior secondary school. Form Three began in 1952, and in 1954 the first Form Four class sat the Kenya African Senior School Examination. In 2011 it was raised from a provincial to a national school.
Today it is a national boys’ boarding school in Kapsabet, Nandi County. Its motto is “Strive to Excel”.
