Our school story
Namirembe Hillside High School opened on 5 May 1995 at Bakuli, Namirembe, along Mujunja Road, as an A-Level school with sixty students. It was founded by career educationists Dr. Kiiza Hilary and Dr. Kyaligonza Robert, who still lead the school as its directors. Growing numbers led the school to move in 1999 to Luteete in Wakiso District, about eight miles from Kampala, where it opened O-Level with twenty-five pioneer students; they sat the Uganda Certificate of Education in 2001. More than 3,000 alumni have since passed through the school. The school’s vision is to be one of the best co-educational secondary schools, giving students an all-round education so they grow into highly educated, cultured Ugandans equipped with life skills. Its mission is to nurture students’ intellectual competence through a conducive learning environment, social responsibility and moral sense. Its core values are responsibility, academic excellence, mutual respect and human dignity, embracing diversity, community spirit, sensitivity to work-life concerns, accepting change, respect for elders and the centrality of work. At O-Level, students study the sciences (Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology), the arts (History, Geography, Commerce, Christian Religious Education and Entrepreneurship), languages (English, Literature in English, French, Kiswahili and Luganda) and vocational subjects (Food and Nutrition, Agriculture, Technical Drawing and Fine Art). At A-Level, arts combinations include HED, HEL and DEG, and science combinations include PCB, BCM, PCM, PEM and MEG, each with Subsidiary Mathematics or Computer Studies. The school reports that it sends a high number of students to public universities each year; in the 2023 UCE examinations, 70 of 131 candidates passed in Division One and 42 in Division Two. Senior One and Senior Five students are admitted after the release of PLE and UCE results, while students joining other classes bring a report from their former school and a recommendation letter and may be interviewed. A merit bursary scheme, running since 1996, supports Ugandan students who perform highly in PLE and UCE and keep up their results and discipline. Facilities include a professionally staffed library, fully stocked science laboratories, an ICT laboratory supporting a five-year project to bring technology into teaching and administration, and a clinic run by a qualified doctor and two nurses, with complicated cases referred to Mulago Hospital. Boys and girls live in separate, fenced dormitories overseen by a warden and a matron. The campus also has a kitchen and dining hall, a basketball court, reading sheds, piped water and power backed by a standby generator. Student life takes in music, dance and drama, painting and creative writing, community outreach, a prefects’ body and inter-house and inter-school competitions. The school’s Scripture Union chapter has run for more than 20 years, and the Shared Love Club organises the “Run for the Vulnerable” charity run.
