Lightning doesn't strike the same tree twice, and Chavakali has proved it and in a big way.
Having been in the cold for one year after previous years' results were nullified the School returned strongly struggling to fight for its place in the top performing school nationally to reclaim its position and prove indeed it is a centre of excellence.
Having suffered a setback in 2014 KCSE results' nullification, the Vihiga-based national school has curved a nitch for itself and posted a mean grade of 9.8 with 21 A plain, 172 A minus, 202 B plus, 143 B plain, 64 B minus, 21 C plus and 4 C plain.
The school has asserted its supremacy in the country as a centre of excellence.
“To those of us whose hard work had become a pipedream, it has now been realised, though delayed, and our school's gloom has turned to glee,'' said Harrison Mbohe, a student whose results were cancelled in 2014 and got an A with 83 points.

It was worth noting that all its 633 students made it to university cut-off points except only four who scored a C plain.
''We have grown to be leaders in the country not only in academics but also in co-curriculum activities. Our school choir was invited for a dinner at state house last year from its perennial prowess in music festival.
"Our target was to get all our students qualify to University and that has come to pass,'' added Mr Indimuli who promised more to come in this year.
Only last year, the Kenya National Examination Council cancelled its 313 students’ KCSE results, forcing them to repeat their final year. The school was out to prove the examination council wrong.
Addressing students and parents in the school's dining hall before recalling former students, Mr Indimuli appealed to parents to support the school to come out strongly.
''This year we have been forced to take this painful decision. I know going through this again is tough for the boys,'' appealed Mr Indimuli who doubles as the secretary of Kenya Heads Association.
Chavakali made a surprise entry in the top ten league toppling most giant schools in the national exam when 2013 Kenya Certificate for Secondary Education results were released.
According to the school principal, the school population, which stands at 1900 students strained on accommodation having accommodated 313 former students.
He added that the school had to close down for form one to three and teachers except head of departments during the examination period to allow the candidates to use the 26 streams as examination rooms.
The school has all reason to celebrate given the school registered the highest number of candidates in the whole country at 637 students.
Last year leaders from the region including the Amani National Congress leader Musalia Mudavadi and current Sabatia area Member of Parliament Hon. Alfred Agoi scoffed on the examination body for victimising the school for no reason. Hon Agoi went further to write to the council.
''How can students who were in 13 different streams collude in an English paper with invigilators assigned to man the centre on high alert the entire time?'' Agoi said.
Chavakali High School is just but an example of schools that have been penalised by the examination body for examination malpractice and proven to be worth their salt.
Maranda High School and Rang'ala Girls from Siaya, Sawagongo High School, Kisii High School, Nyabururu Girls School are but just a few which has posted impressive results after being hit by the same examination council cane.
