Maseno School staff honoured after impressive 2025 KCSE results

The Maseno School entire staff were yesterday treated to a celebratory luncheon by Board of Management (BOM) Chairperson Ambrose Weda in honour of the school’s exceptional performance in the 2025 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examinations.

The luncheon event which was held at Weda’s residence, in Kombewa, Kisumu County, aimed to recognise the collective efforts of the staff following the school’s impressive results shown in last year’s national examinations.

In the 2025 KCSE results, Maseno School recorded a mean score of 9.83, with 96.3 percent of the candidates attaining direct university entry.

The results placed the institution among the top-performing national schools in Kenya, reinforcing its long-standing reputation for academic excellence.

Addressing the school Staff, Weda commended the entire team for their dedication, discipline, and professionalism, noting that the performance was a product of teamwork and consistent commitment to high standards.

The school Chief Principal Peter Otieno was also praised for his visionary leadership and steady stewardship. Education stakeholders credited him with strengthening academic systems, enhancing mentorship programs, and fostering a culture of discipline and accountability within the institution.

Under his leadership, Maseno School has maintained a strong balance between academic achievement and co-curricular excellence, consistently excelling in sports, debates, music festivals, and science congress competitions.

School board described him as a firm yet approachable administrator who prioritises teamwork and results-driven strategies.

Weda noted that the Chief Principal’s strategic guidance, coupled with the dedication of the entire staff, has ensured that the institution remains a national benchmarking center for academic and institutional performance.

“This achievement reflects strong leadership at the top and unwavering commitment from the entire staff,” he said.

The recognition comes at a significant moment in the school’s history. Later this year, Maseno School will celebrate 120 years since its establishment, marking a major milestone in its contribution to education in Kenya.

Founded in 1906, the institution has grown into one of the country’s most respected learning centers, producing leaders in various sectors, including public service, academia, business, and civil society.

Preparations for the anniversary celebrations are already underway, with stakeholders expected to reflect on the school’s rich heritage and future prospects.

As the institution approaches the 120-year milestone, the recent KCSE success, coupled with the staff appreciation luncheon, has reinforced confidence in its leadership and strengthened optimism about sustaining its tradition of excellence in the years ahead.
