The Principal of the school then was called Mr. Martin making the school to be referred to by the locals as “KwaMatingi” a corruption of for “At Martins”. Later the need to separate the girls from the boys arose and in 1950 the boys were relocated to the present site of Machakos School. It admitted African students only and hence the name “GovernmentAfricanBoysSchool”. The first principal who was a foreigner (1950) was called Crowford who stayed for 4 years only Now the current principal is OGW.Indimuli Kahi-Chairman of the Kenya Secondary's Heads Associations (KSSHA) (en)
