Head Teacher’s Message

Dear Parents, Guardians, and Esteemed Stakeholders,

It is with great pride and immense joy that I welcome you to Bombo Army Secondary School. As an institution dedicated to nurturing the leaders of tomorrow, we firmly believe in the empowering potential of education. Our motto, “Knowledge is Power”, encapsulates the essence of what we stand for and the vision we uphold as we work together to shape young minds and future leaders.

At Bombo Army SS, we understand that the true power of knowledge extends far beyond the classroom. It’s not just about academic achievement; it’s about instilling values of integrity, discipline, accountability, and patriotism in our students. We aim to provide them with the tools they need to succeed not only in their studies but also in life. By focusing on both academic excellence and the holistic development of each child, we are preparing our students for the complex, fast-changing world ahead of them.

We recognize that education is a partnership between the school, parents, and the larger community. It is through the collective efforts of all stakeholders—teachers, parents, and community leaders—that we are able to create an environment that fosters learning, growth, and development. Our commitment to building a strong, collaborative relationship with you as parents and guardians is central to the success of our school. Together, we ensure that our students receive the support, guidance, and encouragement they need to realize their full potential.

As a school founded by the UPDF, we are uniquely positioned to provide an education that values not only academic success but also the development of strong, responsible citizens who can contribute meaningfully to society. Our students are prepared to face challenges head-on, with confidence, resilience, and a sense of duty towards their community and country.

Our rich history, which began in 1997, is a testament to our commitment to excellence and the continued success of our students. Today, we are proud to have over 4,000 students enrolled, each of whom brings their unique talents and ambitions to our school. From academic excellence in subjects like English, Mathematics, and the Sciences, to success in sports, music, and extracurricular activities, Bombo Army Secondary School continues to be a beacon of hope and opportunity for young people in the region.

The world around us is constantly evolving, and so too must our approach to education. As such, we have equipped our classrooms with modern facilities, ensuring that our students have access to the best tools and resources for learning. From technology integration to a well-rounded sports program, we are committed to providing an education that empowers students to not only excel in academics but also to develop critical life skills such as teamwork, leadership, and communication.

I take this opportunity to thank you, the parents, for your unwavering support in shaping the future of your children. I also extend my gratitude to the school staff, our partners, and the local community for their tireless efforts in making Bombo Army Secondary School the success it is today. The path we walk together is one of commitment, hard work, and dedication, and I am confident that we will continue to achieve great things as a school community.

Let us all continue to work hand in hand, keeping the spirit of “Knowledge is Power” alive in all that we do. Together, we will not only prepare our students for academic success but for a future full of possibilities, where they will lead with wisdom, integrity, and a passion for service to others.

Thank you for your continued support and for entrusting us with the privilege of educating your children. We look forward to a successful year ahead, one filled with growth, achievement, and endless opportunities.

Yours sincerely,
Mrs. Birungi Alice Baruga
