Sosiot Girls High School Principal Dr Zeddy Cheruiyot demonstrated care and leadership by wearing the school uniform as she personally welcomed Grade 10 learners to the Kericho County institution. The gesture, described by staff as simple yet profound, left students feeling appreciated, supported, and fully embraced as part of the school community.
Dr Cheruiyot, who hails from Susumwet Village in Kapsuser Ward, Belgut Constituency, is widely celebrated for humility, dedication, and a hands‑on approach to leadership.
Her decision to engage directly with students, leading by example, has reinforced her belief that school culture is shaped through empathy and presence. “The gesture may seem small, but it sends a powerful message to our learners that they are valued, respected, and fully supported in their academic journey,” said a teacher at Sosiot Girls High School.
