Down the years the school gained popularity because of its success not only in academic subjects but also in sports. Many of the renowned Kenyan athletes are ex-Iten students. Since 1994 the school is under secular management with some Brothers occupying positions on the School Board.
Harambee School Eldoret was opened in 1967 again at the invitation of Bishop Houlihan. It caters for boys and girls who are financially and academically poor.
Vocation promotion commenced in 1986 and a new building was erected in Kapsoya-near Eldoret- to cater for postulants and novices. The first four novices were received on Feb. 2nd 1991 and on Dec. 19th 1992 three made their first profession.
A house was opened in Dagoretti, Nairobi in 1993 for young Brothers doing further study, but it was sold and a much larger building was purchased in Riruta and refurbished.
The last house to be opened was in Kitale in 1998. Ten Senior Brothers, nine Irish and one Indian work in Kenya.
