The late Catholic missionary, Fr Victor Deleidi, famed for pioneering schools in Central Kenya, founded Ichagaki Boys High School in Fort Hall District (now Murang’a County) in 1962.

The school started as a boys’ day school, changed into a mixed school before reverting to a boys’ only boarding when 8-4-4  was introduced in 1985.
