The Old Students Association connects alumni across Uganda and around the world. We hold an annual reunion, run a mentorship programme for current S6 students, and fund scholarships and capital projects.
Founded in 1968 by the first ten graduating classes of Mbale High, the Old Students Association has chapters in Mbale, Kampala, Nairobi, London, and Toronto. Membership is free for the first five years after leaving the school.
The OSA elects an executive every two years and meets formally at the annual reunion, traditionally on the first Saturday of August.
