Kianyaga High School is a National boys secondary school located in Raimu sub-location, Baragwi, Gichugu Constituency, Kirinyaga County, in the central region of Kenya. It was established in the 1960s through the efforts of local elders.^[1]^[2] Despite initial skepticism from some community members, these determined elders persisted in their fundraising efforts to build the first high school in the area to provide quality secondary education to boys in Kirinyaga County and beyond. In its early years, the school earned the nickname "Kalahari" after the southern African desert, due to the harsh living conditions students endured. The school operates under the Kenyan Ministry of Education and is registered with the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) under the code 9222201.
