The incident was reported by the school principal, Morris Okumu in the wee hours of today.
He informed police that students had become unruly within the school compound.
Police officers from the station responded swiftly and managed to contain the situation upon arrival.
Preliminary findings indicate that the students vandalized several sections of the institution, including classroom windows, classrooms, store rooms, the kitchen, staff room and the school canteen.
