arts, with the Music Room having several practice rooms each equipped with a piano. The sanatorium (The San) is the school's sickbay, which has a clinic and wards for in-patient treatment. It is managed by two qualified personnel (nurses) on 12-hour shifts. Additionally, a physician is also on call in the event of any complication to give directions and consultancy services to the students. Architecturally, it is interestingly a near-replica of the Lenana School sanatorium. For sports, the campus is equipped with a 33-metre swimming pool, a gymnasium, several field hockey pitches and an athletics field, as well as tennis, basketball, netball and volleyball courts. The school also has its own farm with cattle and crops. The Kenya High School is also home to the country's first open-air theatre, The Oenone Theatre, named after a former student, Oenone Grellier (1922 - 1944) who passed away in a swimming accident. Legend has it that, in recognition of the "grade-level wealth" encircled within its fences, the school came to be known and The Heifer Boma, later simply Boma, with the students gaining the nickname Bomarians. Another version tells that the school has been affectionately known as a Boma (of heifers) in reference to a “herd” of young girls who needed to be kept safely out of predators' way. Architecture Situated on Mandera Road off Gatundu Road in Kileleshwa, The Kenya High School is designed to a site plan resembling a mushroom, with the classrooms and administration block forming the stem and the dormitories forming the bloom. The chapel is centrally located symbolising God’s central role in the school. The buildings are constructed to an early modern design with chisel dressed stone walls under a half-round Spanish tiled roof. Floors are finished in a variety of terazzo, parquet and cement screed. Doors are made of highly polished timber panels while windows are glazed in steel casements. Extra lighting is provided by fixed glazed casements held in arched frames with ornamental brick infilling and rose windows. Considering their age, the buildings and the school grounds are in an excellent state of repair and decoration. Management The Kenya High School has various levels charged with managing the school.
