History and operations

[edit | edit source]

City High School was established in 1952 by the Sharma family, who had managed several high schools in the Ngara area.[citation needed]

On October 31, 1964, around 1000 boys at the school went on strike, objecting to the school facilities.[1]

Ram Lal Sharma, who was the school's proprietor in the 1970s, was a follower of Hare Krishna.[2] City High School was one of the last schools founded by him.[3]

Lilian Mumias, wife of Nabongo (King) Peter Mumia II of the Wanga Kingdom, was among the school's teachers in the 1970s.[4]
