'''Nyang'ori High School''' is a Kenyan boys' [[secondary school]] located in the [[Vihiga|Vihiga District]], [[Western Province (Kenya)|Western Province]] – along the [[Kisumu–Kakamega–Webuye–Kitale Road|Kisumu Kakamega Highway]] ({{convert|6|km|abbr=off}} from [[Kisumu]]).
==History and operations==
The school was established in 1954{{clarify|date=May 2020|reason=according to VYMaps.com}} under the sponsorship of the [[Pentecostal]] [[Assemblies of God Church]], as a [[teacher training college]].
It had a capacity of over 900 students in 2006, and is overseen by the principal, Mr. Ibrahim Kigo.
The school does well in [[basketball]] within the region. It has produced Superstars, the likes of Brian Busu, Victor Odendo, Noreh Edwin etc who have played for top premier clubs in Kenya.
Academically, it is ranked among the best performers in the province, after [[Kamusinga]].
With the school being situated in a stony and hilly place, in the dry season it has a water shortage. To counter this problem, water is bought for students. Transport is fair in the school; it has two 60-seat buses, an old version and a modern one.
The school was named the most disciplined school in the Western Province in 2007. In 2009, the school was awarded best in the province.
In 2021 a student at the school was arrested for allegedly assaulting other students and killing a school guard.<ref>[https://nairobinews.nation.co.ke/editors-picks/form-three-student-arrested-for-attacking-colleagues-killing-guard-who-intervened article on arrest of a student of the school]</ref>
