A Brief History Of Mary Leakey Girls High School
As a Missionary with CMS, Rev. Mc Gregor arrived in Fort Smith in Kikuyu on October 13, 1990. He started looking for suitable land for missionary work. He had been offered land at the site of Fort Smith but declined due to its reputation for atrocities against the Kikuyu. He, therefore, went further afield in search of a suitable site. He finally purchased a parcel of land at Kabete locally known as Mayombo (the rocky place) from Cage Kanyi of the Muthemba family.
He took possession of the site in 1901 and named it Kihuruko (a place of quietness and rest). He started teaching the Word of God and literacy. By November 1901, he had five students. The local people nicknamed him “Kabora”. It was on this land that Mary Leakey Girls High School started. In early 1902, Rev. MC Gregor was joined by Rev. Harry Leakey who continued with the work. Rev MC Gregor later moved to Weitahaga in Muranga a few months after Rev. Harry Leakey arrived, He was joined by his wife Mary, their two little girls, and a companion Miss Oakes. The locals nicknamed Rev. Leakey “Giteru” because of his bush beard. They were teaching a mixed group of boys and girls. However, school work among women and girls was slow at first. In 1904 Miss Alicia Higgnbothan, a missionary from Mombasa joined the Leakeys. She assisted in teaching catechism and also taught women who came for treatment from her tent. She taught them sewing and basic reading. In 1905, the Leakeys went on leave to England. Under Miss Higgnbothan, the girl’s class was slowly taking shape.
The leakeys returned to Kabete in 1906. Many boys had come to the school by then and the first two girl pupils were sisters of a boy pupil and an orphan under his care. They lived with Leakeys and became the nucleus of the schools for they attracted more pupils. In 1909, Mrs. Mary Leakey opened a school for girls who met on the veranda of her house. From that time, girls as boarders became a regular feature, for many came from up-country and others had run away from home for various reasons such as circumcision. Until 1921, Kabete was the only C.M.S. station with accommodation for boarders in Kikuyu County. The school, however, never became regular due to the intermittent illness of Mrs. Leakey. In 1922, when Julia Leakey (her daughter training in England as a teacher and a missionary in her own right, the school reopened regularly.
