Alumni Sunday 25th May 2025

Alumni Sunday

When the late President Daniel Toroitich arap Moi founded Moi High School–Kabarak in 1979, he gave us more than classrooms and corridors, he gave us a call to purpose through the powerful motto:

“On Earth We Rise.”

For many years, this phrase was quietly carried in our hearts. Some saw in it a connection to the Sun, a symbol in our school crest and Alumni Association logo, rising daily, unwaveringly, lighting the way for all. A metaphor for consistency, brilliance, and hope.

But during our recent inaugural Alumni Sunday, a new layer of meaning was offered that stirred our collective spirit:

“On Earth We Rise… and fly like eagles.”

Eagles don’t flap aimlessly, they soar with intention. They rise above storms, they see with clarity, and they return to their nests only to renew and regroup. They know when to wait, when to fly, and when to rise again.

As alumni of Kabarak, we are living proof of this.

We’ve risen beyond challenges, adapted across borders, thrived in boardrooms, classrooms, clinics, farms, startups, homes, and movements. Rooted in the values we learned at Kabarak, we are scattered across the world, but connected by a shared legacy of excellence, humility, and vision.

We are the eagles.

We rise from the Earth, not to escape it, but to change it. We rise not alone, but as a community. We rise again and again, with purpose, clarity, and courage. This is the spirit of Kabarak.

This is what it means to say: “On Earth We Rise.”
