The name St Patrick's High School in Elgeyo Marakwet County conjures up memories of globe-trotting sportsmen who smashed world records and rich names of alumni, both in the private and public sectors.

Started in 1961 by a group of Catholic missionaries from the United Kingdom, the school, which is tucked at the high altitude Iten grounds, has in a traditional way of excellence been the envy of Kenyans who wish to have their sons turned from boys to men.
