PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Principal’s Report for the Manchester High School Global Alumni Network
It is with a sense of delight and great anticipation that I greet President Dr. Lundie Richards, the members of the Secretariat of and the Manchester High School Global Alumni Network (MHSGAN) and indeed all our alumni members across the globe. I commend this awesome initiative which started May 22, 2021 with the purpose of strengthening and enhancing bonds between all alumni groups and Manchester High School.
The challenges brought on educational systems across the world have amplified the need for strong partnerships as we seek to change the lives of our young people, preparing them to have the best educational experiences and outcomes against the background of the current global realities.
Undoubtedly, Manchester High School is a formidable force in the local and international educational landscape. Among our rich legacies are the achievements, brilliance and philanthropic fervor of our alumni members. The support for the school through the years in areas such as students’ welfare and academic support, sports, mentorship, development projects and creative ideas has been priceless.
The idea of a Global Network is yet another creative thought that will be the standard for alumni groups in Jamaica.
I encourage all members of the network to stay committed to the cause as it has never been about us, but rather the lives in our care who desperately seek for a meaningful pathway in life. Let us therefore be patient and not easily discouraged or frustrated in the process!
The possibilities are indeed endless. The Manchester High School Global Alumni Network has the full support of our Board of Management and all stakeholders. We appreciate your interest, time, talent and expertise that you are investing in the lives of our students.
We are open to your input in our strategic planning as we reposition amidst the changing demands of the 21st Century. Some key areas of endeavor in our current development plan includes:
- Additional classroom space to cater to our large population
- Construction of an adequate indoor facility/auditorium on campus
- Provision of adequate internet access and technological resources for staff and students
- Procuring a more modern school bus
- Refurbishing the entire school plant in recreational facilities
I pray God’s favor on the Manchester High School Global Alumni Network. May the Network grow from strength to strength cognizant in the fact that “Education is the most powerful weapon to change the world”.
