Teremi Boys High School Alumni Association has called for an emergency meeting with the school’s leadership to address what it describes as a “crisis” affecting the institution’s reputation and stability.

The meeting is set to take place on Friday, January 24, 2025, within the school premises.

In a letter addressed to the school’s Board of Management (BoM), Eric Nakhurenya, the Chairperson of the Alumni Association and a practicing Advocate of the High Court of Kenya, expressed deep concern over recent developments at the school.

While the letter does not detail the specific challenges, it underscores the urgency of the situation and the need for collective action.

“The Alumni remain deeply concerned with recent events that have greatly affected the school’s longstanding reputation,” reads part of the letter.

The planned crisis meeting aims to bring together key stakeholders, including the BoM, the teaching staff, and other support personnel, to deliberate on solutions to the pressing issues.

Teremi Boys High School has long been recognized as one of the region’s giant institutions, producing some of Kenya’s most notable alumni. However, recent events appear to have cast a shadow on its reputation, prompting swift action from the alumni leadership.
