About Gichuru Memorial Senior School
A legacy of excellence in education, character formation, and community service
Gichuru Memorial High School was established in 1982 by the local community. Its aim was to absorb children who did not get admission to the then established secondary school, from the three primary schools in the area at that time; namely Gicharani, Gikambura and Mai-a-ihii primary schools.
It was first located as an annex in Gicharani primary school until growth in numbers required of it to seek more land which was available in Gikambura primary school in 1986. The school is on the same land to date. The school is named after a former defense minister who hailed from the area.
"To provide quality holistic education for self reliance"
Our vision, born on ideals that the school was build on.
"To offer, promote and sustain quality education, identify and develop abilities and talents for the benefit of the individual and society, in order to cope with challenges of the ever changing world"
The school is managed by eighteen Board of Management (BOM) members appointed by the Minister of Education. The secretary to the Board is the Principal who is the chief executive.

Nurturing the spiritual dimension of our students
At Gichuru Memorial, we recognize that education extends beyond academics. Our chapel serves as the spiritual heart of the school, where students gather for worship, reflection, and spiritual growth.
We respect and celebrate diversity while maintaining our Christian foundation. Students of all faiths are welcome and encouraged to practice their beliefs in an atmosphere of mutual respect and understanding.
Through these activities, we aim to develop students who are not only academically excellent but also spiritually grounded and morally upright.
