The Highway Secondary School 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. Highway Secondary 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 boys and girls school into an all-girls school.

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.
