My name is Lilian Namaemba. I joined Highway high school in 2016 on my second year of High School. Being new at Highway, I was challenged, the amount of attention given to education here at Highway is not match by any school I know of but I adapted with time.

Teachers have been great, monitoring my progress and helping me improve. This has given me hope in life and I promise to deliver my best grade come the National Examinations. My favorite subject is history; it helps me to learn some heroes in the world.

After school, I want to go to University and study law so I can become a lawyer and make decisions wisely just as other lawyers do.

I like reading novels and newspapers when I am free. I also like swimming and dancing. The best food to me is fried chicken and French fries.

Hello Lilian! You are now funded for the school year! How old are you and what grade are you in? I have a husband, 4 married children, and 8 grandchildren. Our 9th grandchild will be born within a few weeks, and we are so excited! Tell me a little bit about your family and the things you like about school. Do you have any hobbies? I love to play the piano and clarinet, and downhill ski. I also love to read and most of all, spend time with my family! How about you? Have a blessed new year, and a wonderful time in school! With love! Jill Post
