The nuns of Nakuru, is how Bahati girls were identified years back. The school was founded by the Franciscan nuns that are run with government support. Bahati Girls is located outside Nakuru and has emerged an academic giant in the Rift Valley.

Funny thing some former alumni identify one house master who couldn’t make up an insult well, and could only call them ‘Burrrshyt’ when she was very angry. The school, being among the very few girl’s institutions in Nakuru was the cause of battle between Nakuru High and Njoro Boys, all who wanted to have a ‘taste’ of what their ‘sister school’ offered

Now known as BG by the mahewa generation, the school (that was crowned Kenya hockey champions last year) is driven by the slogan “Knowledge in Virtue”.

Most Principals of the schools over the years have been Franciscan Sisters.

Notable alumni include Keroche Breweries CEO Tabitha Karanja,  Supreme Court judge Njoki Ndungu, award-winning journalist Veronicah Okeyo and musicians Monica Anyango and Elani’s Maureen Kunga.
