Nemakonde High School is a Government high school located in Chinhoyi, Mashonaland West province, Zimbabwe. The school is located in Chikonohono Township on the southern part of the town.
The school admitted its first pupils in 1979, offering only Form One classes. These pioneering pupils were the first group to write O levels exams in November 1982. The first headmaster was Mr Mukonoweshuro deputised by Mr Ngwenya. The school has enjoyed a long period of academic successes under the leadership of the now retired Michael Madare Shambare who was at the helm from 1991 to 2011. The current head of the school is Mr Bernard Tavaguta. Currently the school has about three thousand students. In 2005 the School enrolled its first batch of science students who has produced some stunning results over the recent years. That made Nemakonde one of the best schools in Mashonaland west province in terms of students achievement in the ZIMSEC results. The year 2019 saw Nemakonde produce some spectacular results both at Advanced and Ordinary level. Four students had 20 points and five had 15 points which ranks the 2019 cohort as the second best in terms of yearly performances. The ordinary level guys saw themselves stumbling to break the records written in the archives as their highest had 9A's which is a single A shy of reaching the record 10 A's.
