Ocer Campion Jesuit College is a co-educational, boarding secondary school opened by the Jesuits in 2010 in Gulu, Uganda.
History
The school sits on 98.5 acres donated by a local family.[3] It is envisaged that Ocer Campion will accommodate about 1200 students, in an area emerging from 20 years of war. Funds for the school have come from Jesuit headquarters in Rome and in East Africa, from Campion Alumni in Milwaukee,[4] and from an American Schools and Hospitals Abroad grant of US$500,000 for a home economics and dining facility, among other buildings.[5] Facilities include dormitories for boys and for girls and classroom buildings.[6] The school must be self-sufficient with solar-powered electricity. It also received help through a UNEP-inspired project for turning sewage into fresh water.[7] Students tend a farm that accommodates cattle, chickens, pigs, vegetables, grain, and an orchard, along with a pond for fish. There is also a library.[8] Through visiting interns from the United States, health services are offered to the school and surrounding community.[9]
