Our History
One Community, One World.
From the very beginning in mid-1950’s, graduates of St. George’s have wanted to stay connected to their esteemed alma mater and each other. Initially founded as an intermediate school, students never had sufficient time to develop common interests since they moved on to other schools after form 2 to complete their senior schooling.
Initial ideas of forming an association started in the mid 1970’s after the school was elevated into a full-fledged high school offering forms 1 to 4 schooling. Between 1975 and 1980, a few students who graduated from the school formed an alumni group, however the group was not fully registered with the local authorities.
On xx.xx.1990, SAGOBA was founded, initially by a group of xx students. The membership has grown steadily every year and today we boast of a membership of more than 500+ residing and working across all 47 Counties in Kenya as well as abroad in several continents.
