Kisumu Boys High School is seeking a global partnership in order to expand its global footprint following a high-level visit by U.S.-based education outreach official Jennifer Maende.
Maende, the Coordinator of Education Outreach from the United States, was hosted by the school’s Chief Principal, Austine Muma Okello, alongside newly appointed Board of Management Chairman, Dr. Simon Peter.
The talks focused on forging strategic partnerships that could enable Kisumu Boys students to pursue overseas academic opportunities and benefit from international exposure.
Kisumu Boys, which was recently elevated to national school status, continues to attract attention for its academic excellence and co-curricular achievements under the stewardship of Muma. The promotion has positioned the institution as a rising star in Kenya’s education landscape.
