The research design was correlational research design and its purpose was to determine the effect of head teachers’ years of experience on school performance of Kasese district public secondary school. 4 out 22 schools were selected using convenient and purposive sampling techniques. 99 out of 396 teachers were selected and 198 students out of 1100 students were selected using convenient, stratified and simple random sampling methods. Primary data was collected by self-constructed questionnaires or teachers and students and interview guides or head teachers. From the findings, 25% head teachers who participated in the study between 40 to 49, 50% were between 50 to 59 and 25% were above 59 years planning to retire, meaning they had enough experience necessary for good school performance. Additionally, most of the head teachers (50%) had spent 10 & above years, 25% had spent only 1-5 years, while 25% had spent 6-9 years in the schools they are heading.
