AERIAL PHOTO: SAHS does a prayer circle for its 88th Anniversary celebration. This 88th Commemoration Day Service will long be remembered for its prayer circle. The final item of the service, the circle was formed when the 1500-student body with their teachers proceeded to the outermost reaches of the campus singing the well-known School Hymn "We Build Our School on Thee Oh Lord". Once the campus had been encircled, everyone held hands as Chaplains Rev. Astor Carlyle and Rev. Stephen Mullings sent their prayers for the school over the school's intercom from the Garden Theatre where the Commemoration Service had been held. Click to read more.

A Jamaican Childhood -- Remembering My Teachers. Another fascinating blog by alumna Dorothy (Levy) Kew. Photo: Miss Mary Dawson and Miss Liversidge "In 1951, much to my surprise, I became a prefect. Here I am in this photo, front row, second from the right and one girl away from our Headmistress, Margaret Gartshore. Miss Gartshore was a tiny little woman with a bouncy walk which earned her the nickname “Diana Pom Pom”, shortened to “Pommy” but never used in her presence! Although tiny she was mighty and mighty scary too. Pommy could freeze you to your very soul with one look and the worst event any St. Andrew High School student could experience would be to be called to the Office to speak with Miss Gartshore."
