History of Eastleigh Secondary School, Nairobi
Eastleigh Secondary School was founded in 1952 under the name Racecourse Secondary School to cater for the education of the Asian Community in the Pangani/ Park Road area. With the ensuing increase in the demand for education, it was decided that the Racecourse Secondary School be moved to a new site in the Eastleigh area. The construction work for this new school was completed in December 1955 and the school opened its doors to pupils for the first time on 16th January 1956.
The then Director of Education Mr. W. J. D. Wadley formally opened the school on 6th October 1956 under the new name of Eastleigh Secondary School. Click here for the complete history...
