A TRIBUTE FROM THE MUZZA FAMILY
He Believed First
The story of a school born of faith, and of the man whose belief built it, child by child, year by year, into a hope for Uganda.
Because every milestone we celebrate began with your faith.
It Began with a Belief
Before there was a gate, there was a belief. Before the classrooms, the results, the trophies and the royal guests, there was one conviction in the heart of one man: that a child from Kabembe, Mukono, deserves a school where discipline, faith and excellent teaching come together, and that such a child can grow up not merely to wait for a job, but to create one.
On 7th March 2020, Muzza High School opened its doors, blessed by Rt. Rev. William Ssebaggala, Bishop of Mukono Diocese. Weeks later the pandemic closed school gates across Uganda. Through the silence of those uncertain months, one man kept the faith, and when the gates opened again, Muzza was still standing.
Today the school is accredited and registered with the Ministry of Education and Sports for both O' and A' Level, and it carries a name that is known far beyond its hills: UNEB centre U4030.
The Heart of a Job Creator
"Never sleep on student talent."
They call him a Job Creator, and the title is not decoration. It is a philosophy. It is the reason a Muzza learner is taught more than how to pass an examination. Here, a young person is prepared to find work, and also to create it: to start the business, to build the farm, the workshop, the clinic, the classroom that gives work to others.
In a country where so many young people finish school and then wait for jobs that do not come, that idea is more than education. It is an answer.
It is the same heart that refuses to let a talent go unseen. Because someone insisted that no gift should be wasted, a girls' lacrosse team from Kabembe has stood on the continental stage, and a learner from a small school in Mukono has been named Best Goalkeeper.
The Children Who Proved Him Right
A road that began with faith has become a highway of excellence.

The Day a Kingdom Came to Kabembe
In January 2023, from the 5th to the 21st, the Nnabagereka's own holiday academy, Ekisaakaate, chose Muzza High School as its home. Hundreds of children aged six to eighteen filled our campus.
A Dining Hall was opened by Prof. Christine Katende Nantongo. The Nagginda Girls Dormitory was commissioned by Her Royal Highness Sylvia Nagginda. And on the last day, the Katikkiro of Buganda, Owek. Charles Peter Mayiga, praised the parents for investing in their children's upbringing.
Think of what that means. Royalty, scholars and leaders of a kingdom walked into a school that was only a few years old and left saying: this is a place worth building.

To Every Parent, to Every Child in Uganda
To the mother who counts every shilling at the market so that her child can sit in a classroom; to the father who prays quietly as the fees deadline draws near; to the girl who walks a long road to school with a big dream in a small bag... this story is for you.
Thank you, Ssalongo. For believing before anyone else did. For building people, not only buildings. For giving this country a school that teaches its children to create the future. We promise to keep walking, with the same faith you gave us.
