Utumishi Boys Academy History.
Utumish Boys Academy was founded in 1993, however, the idea of its establishment began in the 1960s to give education to the children of the men who serve the country in the police force. Despite the idea being brought forward, the implementation of it began three decades later.
In 1991, the then Commissioner of police, the late Philip Kilonzo started the implementation of the school by forming a steering committee that was going to oversee the project. In December 1992, the school deployed its first principal, Mr Willi M. Mugoh, his appointment was followed by the hiring of 12 teachers.
On the 26th of January 1993, the school admitted its first 80 students both boys and girls, since the school was still under construction the students were accommodated in the Primary school section as they await the completion of the school.
The school ended up extending their stay at the primary section until January 1995 when the population exceeded what the primary school could offer.
Following the large number of students, the secondary school students left the primary school section and settled in their incomplete section. By 1998, the school was complete and since then the school has undergone a massive transition in terms of infrastructure as well as academic performance.
