  • We’re so excited to finally reveal the name of our new secondary school in Bududa! We are counting down to the historic moment when the school opens in February. The Hawthorne-Scribner High School is named in honor of former Arlington Traditional School Principal and long-time REACH Vice President Holly Hawthorne and Dean Scribner, her husband. Holly and Dean have not only given inspiration, ideas, and the full backing of the Arlington Traditional School community, but have also been generous donors each year and especially towards the realization of this school. Without them, this school would still just be a dream. The name is also a tribute to all our American friends who have worked with us for so long to bring quality education to this part of Uganda. The final construction for the first phase is coming to an end. Scaffolding has been removed from the classroom building, which is now fully completed. The dormitories are receiving their last coats of paint and final finishes are being applied. There is still ongoing work with the kitchen and dining hall, new grass is being planted, and paths and roadways have yet to be completed. Solar panel installations will begin soon. By the end of November, most phase one construction will be complete. Most of our focus has now turned towards acquiring equipment, furniture, and fittings. We’re almost ready for staff and students for the first term in 2025! 📚🎓✏️
