Basketball in Nyeri High School has been there for a long time and may be as old as the school itself. Over the years the team has grown from a simple team to a nationally recognized giant by having representing central province this year. Our outstanding performance in basketball has been lately achieved by students’ hard work and determination as well as support from the teachers and school administration.
