History in brief
The school is named after Maebe, a small mountain at whose foot this primary learning centre has been radiating light to young potential stars since 1981. But there were no classrooms during the founding years, the first learners, the 21 pioneers sat on stones and on some few wooden benches under trees. Lessons were conducted by the solo educator cum principal Mrs Thulare MG during the first year of operation.

Fast forward
