The new Discovery Bay High School, which will be located on the premises of the Discovery Bay Primary School in St Ann, is scheduled to be opened in September as a ‘small’ high school with a maximum of 100 students, according to Sophia Forbes-Hall, the Ministry of Education’s Region Three director.

 

A steering committee that began working in June and headed by former Noranda Bauxite President Pansy Johnson and including principal of York Castle High School, Raymon Treasure, is guiding the process.

 

It is proposed that the school will occupy four classrooms that are available at the primary school, with a capacity of 25 students, maximum, in each classroom.

 

The classrooms are to be retrofitted to accommodate four laboratories for integrated science, industrial technology, food and hospitality services, and information and communications technology.
