Holy Cross Lake View SSS traces its legacy to the Congregation of Holy Cross, founded by Blessed Father Basil Moreau in 1837. The Congregation established a presence in Uganda in 1958, and our beloved school was founded on 23rd February 1993 on the beautiful Wanyange Hill in Jinja. From humble beginnings with just one classroom and fifty-one students, we have grown into one of Uganda's most respected secondary institutions.

Throughout the world, Holy Cross-sponsored academic institutions follow the key precepts of our founder: "How we educate the mind will change with the times; how we cultivate the heart is and will remain timeless."
