In her post, Okenyuri described the emotional experience of walking through the familiar grounds of her alma mater, seventeen years after she last studied there.
“Seventeen years later, I found myself once again walking along the pavements of my alma mater, The Kenya High School,” she wrote.
“As I stepped through the familiar grounds, I asked myself what I missed most. Was it the fresh morning air, the delicious meals, the school hymn or perhaps the friendship and sense of belonging in Naivasha House? Well the truth is that I missed all of it.”
How did Kenya High shape Okenyuri’s ambitions?
The senator said her return was not only ceremonial but deeply personal, as she joined the institution in recognising students who have excelled in both academic and co-curricular activities.

She praised the school for maintaining a strong culture of discipline and excellence, noting that the values she experienced during her time there remain unchanged.

Okenyuri reflected on how the school shaped her life, describing it as a foundational environment that helped nurture her ambitions and character.
Addressing current students and recent graduates transitioning to university, she encouraged them to uphold the values instilled in them by the institution, expressing confidence in their future contributions.
“The world awaits your talents, and I have no doubt that many of you will go on to become leaders, innovators, professionals and changemakers who will make Kenya and the world a better place,” she added.
