St. Joseph’s Senior Secondary School Naggalama is a Catholic founded non-profit making private co-educational day and boarding school owned by the Registered Trustees of Lugazi Diocese. It was started in 1967 by Naggalama Parish with quite limited goals of offering affordable secondary education to children from within the parish who could not make it to the then popular destinations of primary school leavers.

The situation has changed. The school’s spectacular academic performance is widely known throughout the country. It is ranked among the top ten secondary schools at both Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE) and Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education (UACE) and thus attracts students with excellent Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE) and UCE results from all corners of the country. This has created demand especially on the infrastructure necessary for teaching and learning and boarding facilities
