Like a phoenix, Nairobi School has risen from the ashes of despair and is soaring high, again. That is, if the just-released Kenyan Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination results are anything to go by.

Songs and dances rent the air yesterday at the school, which had fallen from its past glory, as students, parents and teachers celebrated the impressive performance.
