TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS 

The school  began several months of celebration as it marks this important milestone, with a concert in Green Turtle Cay.

On Sunday, Fenruary 15, The Band presented a programme consisting of fifteen pieces of music representing five genres. The highlight of the programme was when One Moment In Time was played and dedicated to Mrs. Jenny Reckley, grandmother of three former students of the school.  Mrs. Reckley is also the Congregational Steward of Charles Curry Methodist Church. Charles Carey lll made a presention to Mrs. Reckley on behalf of the school.  Reverend Charles Carey announced that the school would soon be offering music lessons for the young people of Green Turtle Cay.

Other events will include several concerts, a Thanksgiving Service and a Dinner to be held at St. Andrews Community Centre on Saturday, March 21.

The people who have been pivotal in making this Anniversary possible will also be honoured. The school will produce a souvenir booklet to record its journey over these years.
