St. Kizito Senior secondary school Kabowa was founded in 1994 as a community based Catholic school built on the foundation of the virtues of the young martyr St Kizito. Some of the virtues to be emulated from the young saint were Godliness, obedience, holiness,respect for law and order, modesty, cleanliness, hard work,prayerfulness, purposefulness, tolerance and prudence among others.
It all started from the then Ndeeba Parish priest Father Ssengendo Charles who, together with the Sub parish council agreed to start up a secondary school. They had forfeited the Primary school at the site for a secondary school to attend to the needs of the area.Therefore, the location where St Kizito stands today was once a primary school that was later transformed into a secondary school. The pioneer head teacher is Mr Mpoza John Lwanga (now Dr) who was fished from Naggalama St. Joseph’s where he was deputy head teacher. For Father Ssengendo knew him as a disciplinarian who was committed to instilling values in young minds, a trait that he thought would help shade the picture of their vision when starting the school.
