• This Great House was built by the last white Head teacher , as Ian Robinson in the 1960s and in the 80s Mr.S.K.Busulwa extended it to where it is presently.
• Therefore it is one of the modern Houses on the Hill.
• Grace House is named after one of the most prominent Headmasters of Budo , Rev.Candy Grace commonly referred to as “The second founder of King’s College Budo”.

The Grace Anthem which has motivated the girls towards higher levels is as follows;
In the midst of nine Grace stands proud
To be none other than the best
It’s true, plain voice out loud
She is working hard and will not rest.
To mold each girl into a lady
To aim and excel in academics,
And to the great world of sports
Her goal, her target and her dream.
In the midst of nine Grace stands proud
To be none other than the best
It’s true, plain voice out loud
She is working hard and will not rest.
The Grace House MOTTO is “By God’s Grace we prevail’
This means that, Grace members try to be their best do their best and God’s Grace does the rest Beatrice Mukasa
