It has a history of exceptional performance with the highest pass rate in the region and the second best preferred school in the region after Oshigambo High School. Nehale Secondary School is also a cluster centre to the schools in Onayena. It is part of Onathinge education cluster. The school principal is Elifas Iimene.

Current State

The school was established during the colonial era and has not seen major renovations since then. The school obtains most of its funding from the government. This is generally not sufficient to cover running school expenses. Its facilities are thus dilapidated. A broken sewerage system, lack of accommodation for teachers, inadequate laboratory facilities and the lack of a hall are the major challenges.[2]
