Kisii School is a public high school for boys in Kisii, Kenya, established in 1934.
Kisii School was established in July 1934 under the name "Government African School (GAS) Kisii", following a petition by the local councils for a regional school to Governor Sir Joseph Byrne in 1933. Subsequently, the councils pooled resources to the tune of 120,000Ksh for the establishment of the school on a shared basis. with an additional 3,000KSh for equipment.[1] Land for the school was provided by the then-Nyaribari location chief Musa Nyandusi, just outside Kisii township. Work began in January 1934 and was led by masons from the Kabete Industrial Training Depot. The school began operations in July 1934[2] Some 300 pupils from across the district were invited to sit an entrance examination for the first class in Standard III, to be admitted in January 1935, competing for 60 slots in the school.[3] The pupils who passed were mainly Luo, from Luo Nyanza, so the district commissioner ordered a retake of the examination to ensure that more Kisii and Kuria pupils would be admitted to the school.
