Communication From The Headteacher

For a school whose motto is “Strive to Excel’ we have no other business except to search for excellence. Pursuit of excellence must be our passion, our obsession, full time occupation.

It should be clear to all our staff and students that we are not limiting ourselves to only academic excellence. Our call is to strive for excellence in all human endeavours.

The school was founded in 1946 by the Mill Hill Missionary Fathers when the administration of Budini College decided to transfer the institution to a site with easy access to social amenities. They moved to occupy the premises which had been vacated by the Franciscan sisters. Fr. Mc Gough became the first head teacher of the new institution now named Jinja College. Initially, a private junior school (S.1 to S.3) became a government aided school and upgraded to secondary status (S.1 to S.4) in 1965 with Fr. Jones as its head teacher.
