History
Teacher training in Tambach began in the 1940s. The course was offered in what was then known as the Tambach African School of Government on the site of the current Tambach School today, which began in 1928. The school then Trained teachers of T3 and T4. It was here that retired President Daniel Arap Moi served as tutor and head of the institution between 1948 and 1955 when he left teaching to join the colonial legislative council after his election as a representative of the Rift Valley council. In 1957, the name of the institution was changed to Tambach Training College. In 1964, the university was amalgamated with the University of Mosoriot Teachers following the recommendations of the Ominde Education Commission on Teacher Training. Tambach, therefore, ceased to be a College of Teachers and gave way to be the first form of a class consumption that ushered in the present Tambach High School day. The school still uses many of the former university buildings including staff houses. Among these is the one that ex-President Moi lived.
