[4] Ngora High School was founded on July 13, 1914, by the Anglican Church of Uganda to educate high-minded professionals.

The Archbishop of the Church of Uganda, Stanley Ntagali, led prayers at the celebrations attended by Education, Science, Technology and Sports minister Jessica Alupo.

Also in attendance was Minister Without Portfolio Richard Todwong, who represented his excellence Yoweri Museveni, president of Uganda.

However, the hardships of the Teso Insurgency (1986 - 1993) and the incursion of the Lord's Resistance Army (2001 - 2003), combined to damage both the physical premises of the school and its academic reputation.

The boys' football team competes at district and regional levels in competitions such as the 2015 Copa Coca-Cola Championship.
