Nkuutu Memorial Secondary School (NKUMESCO) is a government aided school in Iganga, Uganda. It is a church founded school and was first established as Busesa girls working together with Busesa boys on the opposite side of the road (now Busesa Mixed Primary School). As the need for a secondary school arose it was expanded into a secondary school and was named in memory of Hon. Shaban Kirunda Nkuutu who was brutally killed during Idi Amin's regime.
Nkuutu Memorial Secondary School (NKUMESCO) has been the place of education for many professionals in the country including journalists, engineers, health workers, and many others.
In 2007 the school was selected to be among the pioneer schools for the Universal Secondary education (USE).
