History

The school was founded by the Church Missionary Society in 1900. It moved to its present location in 1912. In August 2004, a student strike occurred at the school in protest of the school bursar's alleged mishandling of funds. The performance of the school was exemplary in the 1960s through the 1990s. During the 2000s, standards have declined. [3] However, there is currently an effort involving alumni to revive the school's former glory. [4]

Etymology

According to a former acting headmaster in 2006, Israel Wabusela Walukhuli, the name "Nabumali" is a European pronunciation of a site that originally belonged to lady known as "Nabumati". [5]
