HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL
Kasawo Secondary school was started in 1927 as a model school. By then it was known as Kasawo Elementary Vernacular School [KEVS] situated on Kigayaaza hill with Mr. D.B Ousley as the first head Teacher. The late Sulamain Waligo, in whose name is the present Waligo House, is credited for having initiated the idea of setting up schools in kasawo sub county. Waligo, then the su
b County Chief Kasawo established a school known as Agali Awamu at Kitovu Village near Kasawo trading centre. it was then headed by Semei Kasujja. When the colonial government saw the initiative for education by the rural community, they picked interest and decided to help set up a model school in the area. In 1925, the colonial government inspected Kasawo sub county for possible location for a school and Kigayaaza hill on which Kasawo Secondary school stands was selected. In 1927, the government completed a model school known as Kasawo Elementary vernacular School sitauted at Kigayaaza hill with the first head Teacher as mr. D.B Ousley. King Daudi Chwa and his treasurer leased the land where Kasawo S.S stands to government in an agreement signed in 1928. In 1979, government took over ownership of the school and turned the status to 'O' level day and mixed senior secondary school. In 1987, Kasawo Senior Secondary School was elevated to a High School ('A' level) a status it has remained since. FUNNY FACT
