Compare bond strength of C-OH on the basis of formation of free radical/carbocation after homolytic /heterolytic bond cleavage.More stable is the radical or Carbocation more easy to break bond or weak is bond.I think this will help you in comparing Heats of Combustions of primary, Secondary and tertiary alcohols.
Is this really supposed to be an answer for a high school student?

If high school student wants to know the reason and student knows about primary /secondary or tertiary alcohols ...then may be it is yes.
