A major leadership change has taken place at Kabianga High School, with the appointment of Dr Daniel Chelule as the new Chief Principal. He replaces Ezekiel Kurgat, who retired shortly before the mid-term break.
Dr Chelule moves to Kabianga from Londiani Boys High School, where he has been serving as the Chief Principal.
Kurgat, who succeeded Joash Oloo, is a former principal of Kebirigo High School and had previously taught at Kabianga, making his tenure a return to familiar grounds. His retirement marks the conclusion of a significant chapter in the school’s leadership.
Dr Chelule is widely recognized for his strong record in school administration and academic excellence.
Before joining Londiani Boys, he served as the chief principal of Kimulot Boys High School, where he led the school to outstanding performance in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE).
