Earlier directory summary

Makueni Boys School is in Makueni County (Makueni Constituency).

Makueni Boys School is a boys boarding secondary school.

Makueni Boys High School opened to its first students in March 1966. The foundation stone of its first building was laid on 20 September 1965 by Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, then Vice President. The school says it was started to educate the children of families who had settled in the area from other parts of Ukambani, notably from what was then the larger Machakos District.

It began with one stream and added a second in the early 1970s. A third followed in the late 1970s, together with an A-level class that taught science subjects only. When the A-level class ended in 1989, a fourth stream took its place. The school was upgraded to a national school in 2011 and admitted its first national intake in January 2012.

Today it is a public boarding school for boys, sponsored by the Africa Inland Church. It stands on about 46 acres, 2 kilometres from Wote along the Wote–Makindu road. Its motto is “Like a tree Knowledge Grows”.
