Loyola High School alumni, affectionately known as "Loyolights," form the vital backbone that sustains and elevates the institution. Since the school's founding in 1995 by the Jesuits in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, over 7,000 graduates have carried forward the Jesuit values of academic excellence, leadership, social justice, and service to others.
These alumni remain deeply connected through the active Loyola High School Alumni Association, which fosters lifelong bonds, organizes events like the Annual Alumni Career Day (where accomplished graduates mentor current students), reunions, and networking opportunities. The association promotes the school's mission, encourages mentorship, and supports initiatives that benefit current students—ensuring the spirit of "Once a Loyolight, always a Loyolight" lives on.
Many alumni excel in diverse fields across Tanzania and internationally, from engineering and business to public service and academia. Graduates have secured scholarships to prestigious universities like Fairfield University in the U.S., contributing to Tanzania's development while crediting Loyola's holistic formation for their success. Their achievements—reflected in strong national exam performances, global placements, and community impact—highlight the school's lasting influence.
Alumni give back generously, supporting scholarships for low-income and orphaned students, volunteering, and helping maintain the school's facilities and programs. As the school celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2025, alumni testimonials underscored their role in keeping Loyola afloat through donations, advocacy, and inspiration.
In essence, Loyola's alumni are more than graduates—they are the living legacy, ensuring the school continues to nurture "men and women for others" for generations to come.

On March 26, 2022, Loyola High School in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, marked a transformative moment with the inauguration of its new girls' dormitory.
Funded by a grant from USAID's ASHA program, in partnership with the Midwest Jesuits and Jesuits of Eastern Africa, the facility accommodates up to 400 girls, officially turning the Jesuit-run school into a full boarding institution. This addresses critical barriers like long, unsafe commutes, boosting girls' access to quality education in a country where secondary completion rates remain low for young women.
The event drew distinguished guests. Prof. James Mdoe, Deputy Permanent Secretary for Education, Science and Technology, brought government backing and emphasis on STEM opportunities for girls.
Bishop Henry Mchamungu, Auxiliary Bishop of Dar es Salaam (ordained bishop in 2021 after priestly service since 1994), added spiritual depth with blessings, reflecting the Catholic Church's commitment to youth empowerment.
The star donor spotlight shone on USAID, represented by Mission Director Kate Somvongsiri. A seasoned development leader who joined USAID in 2002 and later negotiated major agreements in Tanzania, Somvongsiri highlighted the project's impact: “We are here today to change that” — referring to dismal secondary completion stats. Her presence underscored U.S. investment in Tanzanian education and gender equity.
Founded in 1995, Loyola High School continues its Jesuit mission of holistic formation, serving over 1,000 students with a focus on social justice and community service.
The community expressed deep gratitude to all involved. This dormitory isn't just bricks—it's a step toward brighter futures for Tanzanian girls.
