HISTORY & PROFILE OF KANGA BOYS’ HIGH SCHOOL.

Kanga Boys’ High School was founded by the late Internal Security Permanent Secretary, Hezekiah Oyugi in 1985.

Kanga High School is a prestigious boys-only Cluster 1- C1 school located in Rongo, Migori County. The institution was established to enhance access to quality education in the region.

The school began modestly with just 15 students, who were initially hosted at St. Joseph’s Secondary School Rapogi due to a lack of infrastructure. Interestingly, this host school would later become Kanga High School’s main academic rival.

In early 1986, the school relocated to its permanent site under the leadership of its first principal, Joram Ayoo, a former teacher at Starehe Boys’ Centre.

Kanga High School quickly established a reputation for academic excellence, particularly in Mathematics and Physics.

By 1986, it had already topped both O-level and A-level mock examinations. This early success was further demonstrated in 1988 when the school ranked sixth nationally in the KACE examinations.

The institution continued to grow steadily. In 1989, it received its first school bus—a minibus donated by its founder, Hezekiah Oyugi—marking an important step in improving student mobility and school operations.

A major milestone came in 2012, when Kanga High School was elevated to national school status, solidifying its reputation as one of Kenya’s leading secondary schools.

Today, the school has expanded significantly, with a student population of over 1500, and consistently ranks among the top performers in national examinations, often placing within the top 20 nationwide.
