Pitia Rombosia, transferred from St. Mary’s Namalasire Secondary School, is the new principal of St. Paul’s Lugari Boys’ High School.
Mr. Rombosia takes charge of the institution from Akhaenda Kennedy, who has been serving as principal in an acting capacity since Kennedy Nyamwolo left on March 29, 2023.
Mr. Akhaenda will resume his mandate as Deputy Principal of the school found in Lugari Ward in Lugari Sub-County.
The handover ceremony was conducted today at the school in the presence of teachers and other staff.
The new development comes as a result of a raft of changes by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) that have led to a reshuffle of school heads across the country.
Rombosia takes over when the school is grappling with a low enrollment rate, indiscipline, and below-average performance.
