Is it possible that a school\u2019s motto has an impact in the overall turnout of its alumni? Oftentimes, this slogan is drilled into young entrants every morning at parade.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s like an indoctrination phrase into the school\u2019s culture. It\u2019s plastered in bold on every available space from school\u2019s entrance, stationery, to blazers and shirts.<\/p>\n

A school\u2019s motto is an organ of pride, in every alumni association meet. It creates an addictive euphoria that stirs fond memories! Here\u2019s a random list of 10 most creative motto phrases!<\/p>\n

Meru School: In Understanding, Be Men<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

A cursory perusal of history books sheds some light to the origin and relevance of this motto. Meru School is presently commands mention as on the country\u2019s glorious institutions.<\/p>\n

But, it\u2019s grown from a humble existence, since inception in 1956. It\u2019d grow, from learning under trees – drawing male students from the larger Meru and North Eastern Provinces – regions known for volatile temperaments.<\/p>\n

They\u2019d often be protests, due to harsh learning and living conditions. To counter this, the missionaries coined the phrase: In Understanding, Be Men!<\/em><\/p>\n

Machakos School: \u2018Ui wi Mbee\u2019<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The phrase \u2018Ui wi mbee<\/em>\u2019 is an ode from the local language Kamba, which loosely translates as \u2018Wisdom ahead\u2019<\/em>. The school is central to the regions cultural and social dynamics, and has historically produced some of the country\u2019s most iconic figures straddling politics, academia, industrial and other fields.<\/p>\n

The phrase is unique, as it\u2019s a derivative from a local language, as opposed to schools with phrases from foreign languages.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mang\u2019u High School: Jishinde Ushinde<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The name Mangu rolls off the tongue as a strong bragging high school favorite. Their motto, in Swahili – \u201cJishinde Ushinde<\/em>\u201d is simple, catchy. It loosely translates to \u201cConquer Yourself to Conquer\u201d in English.<\/p>\n

This is an ideal demonstrated in the school\u2019s stellar performances, over several decades. It also helps that the school only admits the country\u2019s best performers in KCPE.<\/p>\n

Nairobi School: To the Uttermost<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, in everything you wish to do, do to your uttermost. Give all it takes. There\u2019s no holding back. I\u2019d imagine the phrase \u2018To the Uttermost<\/em>\u2019 would be an apt rallying call for an advancing army, and would be very encouraging to high school students.<\/p>\n

Beyond high school, Nairobi School\u2019s alumni would still find power and resolve, as they face cut-throat corporate and entrepreneurial sectors. It defines excellence.<\/p>\n

Kenya High School: Servire est Regnare<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Latin Phrase \u2018Servire est Regnare<\/em>\u2019 is shared by Groton School, a private boarding school in USA. The English translation, as often occurs with complex Latin, several outcomes. But, in essence – \u201cTo serve is to rule\u201d<\/em>, or \u201cFor whom service is perfect freedom\u201d<\/p>\n

Kenya High is one of the best performing national schools in Kenya, and has very tight admission requirements. Only the country\u2019s top KCPE performers attain admission.<\/p>\n
