St Jago High School this evening set off jubilation inside and outside the studios of Television Jamaica (TVJ) in St Andrew after beating Calabar 28-16 to win its sixth Schools' Challenge Quiz title.
With six crowns, the Monk Street, St Catherine-based institution joins Munro College as third most successful schools in the 53-year-old competition.
Kingston College with 11 titles is the winningest school followed by dethroned champions, Ardenne, with eight.
The Romeo Lee-coached St Jago last won in 2019.
The live studio final was held amid some of the usual fanfare with the return of cheering supporters following the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions earlier this month.
Calabar is coached by Kemoy Lindsay and Tobeyan Dreckett.
Jean-Paul Menou was the quiz master for the final.
