Oshigambo High School is a missionary and church school of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Namibia. In 2006, Oshigambo River broke its banks for the first time in 50 years. The flood water separated the school from its hostel; learners and teachers who stayed at the other side of the river had to either pass through the river at own risk, or had to walk a distance of about 3 km to get to school. A bridge had been promised to be built by President Hifikepunye Pohamba. The school receives voluntary teachers from the United States every 2 years. They mostly cater for the Math and Science subjects. It has about 20 teachers, of which most are foreigners and about 300 learners.
