The Highway Secondary is a public boys' boarding school located in Nairobi's South B suburb, Kenya.[1] The school is named for the Mombasa Highway that runs along the school's southern perimeter. The school is classified as a County school.

History

The school was created as an Asian school for O-level boys and co-ed A-level (girls and boys) on 19 February 1962.[citation needed] This was concurrent with the conversion of Ngara Girls' High School a boy's and girls school into an all-girls school.[1] The headmaster along with all the male teaching staff and the boys were moved to the site of the present school location.[citation needed]

The school was officially inaugurated by Hon. Lawrence G. Sagini, Minister of Education. In 1963 the school enrolled its first four black students.[2] The school is currently headed by Principal Partick Maritim and deputy principal Eric Wandambusi.
