The study objectives were; to examine the effect of Participation rate on student’s creativity in selected secondary schools in Pallisa District; to assess the effect of school exhibition and display opportunity on student’s creativity in selected secondary schools in Pallisa District; and to investigate the effect of student Curriculum integration facilities on student’s creativity in selected secondary schools in Pallisa District. The study population is 100 respondents from the three selected secondary schools in Pallisa District. The study employed stratified random sampling techniques in coming up with a sample size of 83 respondents. The primary data collection methods used was a questionnaire. However, interview guides were also used to collect qualitative data. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistics in SPSS (Statistical package for the social science) version 20. Linear and Multiple regression analysis were also used to determine the effect of the independent variables on dependent variables. The study found that Participation rate is significant in predicting student creativity with R square value = 0.124 and β = .352 with p-value = 0.000<0.05. The regression coefficient of Participation rate is positive and significant in predicting the student creativity. Further the study found that exhibition and display opportunity had R square value = 0.261 and β = .511 with a p-value = 0.000<0.05. The regression coefficient of exhibition and display opportunity is positive and significant in predicting student creativity. The study further found that Curriculum integration had significant effect in predicting student creativity with p values of 0.000 less than 0.05, R square value = 0.278 and β = .528. The study recommends that the management of schools should put more emphasis on Participation rate through provision of balanced diet to students and staff, providing adequate food rations to the students to improve student creativity while studying. The study additionally suggests that the management of schools should continue to promote exhibition and display opportunity in the school premises through construction of good drainage systems, regular cleaning of dining halls and kitchens, compound and dormitories, provision of secure dust bins to collect rubbish.
