INTRODUCTION

Kaaga Boys’ is a very old school started way back in 1910 by the first Methodist Missionaries to arrive in Meru. It was a mission centre at the time. It is located approximately 1km from Meru School/Kaaga Girls junction.Some of the buildings standing in the compound and still being used were put up in 1926.All this time the school was intermediate, training on carpentry and home health to Africans.In 1966 it reverted to Harambee Mixed Secondary School. 1967, the school started the second stream. In 1988, the 3rd Government stream was started. In the same year an ‘A’ level class was brought on board. In 1993, the girls were transferred to create Gikumene Girls Secondary School and their boys came to create the current Kaaga Boys’.In year 2007, the school was required by the Ministry of Education to start the 4th stream. This was inspite of the fact that the school lacked land and physical facilities. This extra stream exerted tremendous pressure on the available physical infrastructure. Since year 2007, A new class had to be put up every year upto 2010 to complete the 4th stream cycle.Dormitory facilities have also had to be expanded to cater for expansion of students population from 560 in 2007 to 800 in 2015. An extra, 3rd Science laboratory has also to be put up. The school has since been transformed from a small local school to a renowned extra-county academic giant. This has taken place in the last 5 years. Indeed there is pressure to expand the school further to five streams. However, this is untenable taking into account the small size of school compound that denies students adequate ground for co-curricular activities. The school is now on an upward trend in terms of academics. Indeed the school’s mean score has improved from 5.3 in 2006 to 8.1 in 2014. This mean score is expected to continue increasing as the school expands in other fronts. By end of 2019, the school should be at the mean of close to 10.0.
