History Emphasis
St. Michael Kabaa High School was established in 1924 by Fr. Michael Witte as a teachers' training college before transitioning into a boarding primary and intermediate school. Kabaa played a pivotal role in the establishment of Mangu High School by sending some of its early students to help lay the foundation for the new institution. Kabaa was elevated to a secondary school in 1960 and became known for its academic excellence, producing prominent alumni such as the late President Mwai Kibaki, Tom Mboya, and Archbishop Ndingi Mwana a’Nzeki.

St. Michael Kabaa has a rich history of academic excellence, consistently ranking among top schools in national exams and producing notable scholars and leaders. Our students benefit from an environment that encourages inquiry, innovation, and a passion for learning.
