Nyanza's academic top guns — Maseno, Maranda and Kisii high schools — were the toast of the region yesterday after recording good performance in this year’s Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exams.

Maseno National School, once a national academic giant, powered its way back into the hall of fame after it grabbed position seven among the top ten schools with the highest number of As. The school had 23 straight As, a rare feat after a long lull.
