At Friends Bokoli Boys High School, change is no longer just a promise. It is unfolding in classrooms, on the stage, and across the school compound, where Principal Joseph Mulongo has set in motion a revival that is already reshaping the institution’s outlook.

Since taking over in mid-2024, Mulongo has steered the school towards a new balance between academic pursuit and co-curricular engagement.

Central to this transformation has been the return of the Cultural Day, once a highlight of the school calendar that had quietly faded away.

It’s revival brought music, drama, traditional dance, and art back into focus, giving students a platform to express creativity while reinforcing the idea that talent and academics can grow side by side.

The renewed cultural vibrancy complements a series of academic interventions. Weekend clinics have been introduced to strengthen preparation for national examinations, while peer-to-peer study groups and mentorship structures have deepened the learning process.

Teachers are engaging learners more closely, and alumni have begun reconnecting with the school to offer guidance and motivation.

The atmosphere on the ground reflects the change. Students carry themselves with greater confidence, classrooms are more animated, and the energy around the compound suggests a community rediscovering its drive. Morale among staff has lifted as well, with a stronger sense of purpose defining their work.

For many, this shift marks a new chapter from dormancy to dynamism, Bokoli Boys is finding its spark again. With the KCSE examinations on the horizon, expectations are building that the school could reclaim its place among Bungoma County’s leading institutions.

The journey is far from complete, but the direction is unmistakable: under Principal Mulongo, Friends Bokoli Boys High School is redefining itself with balance, tradition, and renewed excellence.
