Kigezi High School in Kabale District has officially approved a partnership with St. Paul’s School in Visalia, located in the agricultural San Joaquin Valley of California, United States. This collaboration aims to bridge educational standards and enhance the overall learning experience for students.
The partnership was formalized recently, following the fulfillment of a generous pledge made by Rev. Richard Menes and his wife Martha from California. The couple had committed to contributing One Million during the Centenary celebrations of Kigezi High School in September of this year.
Rev. Menes and Martha attribute the roots of this collaboration to the initiative of Bishop Emeritus Rt Rev Eng George Bagamuhuma during his tenure as the diocesan Bishop. The partnership gained momentum as the Bishop of the San Joaquin Diocese reaffirmed the commitment during the consecration and enthronement of Bishop Gaddie Akanjuna.
The collaborative efforts between Kigezi High School and St. Paul’s School in Visalia are expected to extend beyond the initial three-year period, even after the completion of their gospel preaching mission in the diocese.
Abraham Akampurira, the Head Teacher of Kigezi High School, expressed optimism about the partnership, believing that it will establish a broader network for both schools, expose learners to global dynamics, and facilitate the acquisition of diverse skills.
