Garissa High School chosen to be one of the country's eight sports academies.

A trilateral initiative by the Ministries of Education and Sports, & UNICEF has included Garissa High as one of the countries eight breeding centers for champion Sportsmen. The school has received a donation of Sh. 4m to help fund the academy and nurture Kenya's future champions. Its my sincere hope that this project will be executed with the interest of country and students at heart. Failure to do so will not only mean  another generation of talent going to waste, it will also deprive our province of representation in National sporting championships.
Finally, GHS should increase its quota of students who come from Wajir and Mandera counties. For a long time the school has had 90% + of its student body hailing from within the city. This funding will give it an edge over its rivals and allow the school to broaden its talent pool both academically and sports-wise.
