    JPSS Update – Finally, Good News

    October 27, 2020 /

    Photo of JPSS Headmaster Bwayo Moses The COVID pandemic has had a tremendous impact on students and parents here in the USA . . . but for the students of Uganda, it has been devastating!   The government’s extreme shutdown did keep the virus from spreading and the death rate has been kept low but has had catastrophic effects on schools and students. Ugandan students have missed an entire year of studies. They don’t have the option of virtual or distance learning. Most do not have computers or internet at home; many don’t even have electricity.

    September 29, 2020 /

    For all of us, Covid-19 has been difficult and disruptive . . . but for the school children of Uganda, it has become disastrous. In Uganda, which has minimal provision for health care, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to show increased cases as well as rising deaths.   Thus, the government has taken rigorous steps . . . from closing all borders to governing transportation, to restricting travel between villages and regions to closing ALL schools.

    First a Student—–Now a Teacher

    November 27, 2016 /

    We are so excited to share this amazing story with all of you. In 2007, John Paul Secondary School first opened its doors to 14 eager students. One of those students was Lawrence Omongin. He studied at JPSS for four years and then moved on to higher education. We’re very pleased to announce that Lawrence completed his studies last year and joined the staff at JPSS as a Physics teacher! Lawrence, you are an excellent example to all the students at JPSS. They will look up to you and see that if they study hard they too can someday come back to JPSS as one of the great teachers! Congratulations…
