Junior students from seventh to ninth grade attend school in the morning from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon while tenth to twelfth grades students attend classes from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

At the ceremony, Premier and Minister of Finance, Honourable Andrew A. Fahie stated that his administration is looking forward for students to return to a full day school in September after being placed on a shift system since the passage of hurricane Irma. He also expressed that he was pleased that his Government is able to provide employment opportunities for local contractors.

“We are excited about our children getting back here in 2019, but we are also excited for an opportunity to engage the local construction industry and be able to offer local contractors a source of income, and today I thank you for your patience. Local contractors are key partners in the rebuilding of this Territory,” the premier reiterated.
