St Edward’s Secondary School Bukuumi is a catholic founded Government Aided Mixed Boarding school offering Ordinary and Advanced levels of education.
It was started in 1945 by White Fathers as a boy’s junior school to feed sister schools by then which were called Colleges. Among these colleges were St. Mary’s College Kisubi, St, Henry’s College Kitovu, Namilyango College, St. Leos Kyegobe. Later, in 1948, the white fathers handed over the school to the Brothers of Christian Instruction for management up to date.
Brother James Monette (a Canadian) pioneered the leadership of the school taking over from Rev. Fr. Brown. When the European Missionaries left Uganda in the 1970s due to the instability of Iddi Amin’s regime, the native Brothers took over the management of the school to date.
