Kabalega Secondary School College is a boys-only boarding secondary school located in Masindi City in the Western Region of Uganda. The school offers both Ordinary Level (O-Level) and Advance Level (A-Level) subjects and examinations. The school is named after King (Omukama) Kabalega Chwa II of Bunyoro who lived from 18 June 1853 until 6 April 1923.

The school campus is situated along Bobi Road in the city of Masindi, approximately 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi), by road, north of the Masindi Municipal Council Office.[1] The coordinates of Kabalega Secondary School are:01°41'44.0"N, 31°42'56.0"E (Latitude:1.695556; Longitude:31.71555632).[2]

History

The school was founded in 1959. Over the years, the enrollment rose to over 1,000 students. During the 1990s Kabalega Secondary School fell on hard times and both teachers and learners were discouraged. Enrollment declined to less than 500 students. A new headmaster was posted to the school in February 2018. Working with the old boys' association called "KASSOBA", that headmaster, Andrew Tumwesige made gradual improvements in teaching and learning conditions.[3][4]
