"Despite the challenges, we have achieved much over the 10 years, and we are proud of the partnerships we have formed over these years with the Ministry of Education, the community and corporate entities which have contributed to our development. We continue on our quest for excellence," said principal of the school, Yvonne Miller Wisdom.
