He acknowledged the contributions of teachers and parents towards the wellbeing and success of the students, saying that teamwork inspires and empowers students to reach their full potential.

"No accomplishment is ever the product of a single person's work. This educational facility has evolved into a symbol of excellence in learning due to the joint efforts of parents, students, teaching and non-teaching personnel, and the school management," he said.

The institution's member of the board of directors, Susan Moi, urged the students that success is a continuous. She called on them to keep up with the spirit of discipline and hard work as they pursue their further studies.

"Whatever tenets you learned here, use them as a guide in your daily lives and as you pursue further studies," Susan said.

The instruction's executive director, who also serves as Kabarak University Vice Chancellor, Prof Henry Kiplagat, said the school’s journey to the pinnacle of success has been marked by collective commitment to providing an environment that fosters character formation, academic brilliance and holistic development.

“As we give thanks today, let us remember that education without a strong moral and spiritual foundation is incomplete. Success is not just about achieving high grades but also about developing individuals of character, integrity and servant leadership," Prof Kiplagat said.

He urged the learners to embrace the values of discipline, curiosity, and compassion.

Moi High School-Kabarak Chief principal Elisheba Cheruiyot attributed the tradition of academic success to solidarity and shared accountability.

"Year after year, outstanding outcomes have been achieved, thanks to the cooperative attitudes among students, teachers, parents, and the entire school community," Mrs Cheruiyot said.

She said that the collaborative spirit among students from diverse backgrounds with collective goals to achieve academic excellence, as well as student-teacher collaboration, led to the exemplary outputs.

“The shared commitments and collective goals have created a synergy that goes beyond individual achievements and propels us towards greatness as a collective whole,” Mrs Cheruiyot said.

 In 2023, the school topped the list of best performers in the country, having posted a mean grade of B+, with a performance index of 10.43, up from 10.13 in 2022.

The school chaplain Rev Paul Ombati, said that while quality education is not merely about academic achievement, it also entails nurturing learners spiritually and physically.

“Excellent education is about instilling values of integrity, compassion, and spirituality, virtues that seem to be diminishing in our current society," Rev Ombati said.

The celebrations saw the best-performing students in various fields and subjects awarded.
