St Hugh’s High past students to commemorate 125th anniversary

From November 14 to 18, the St Hugh’s High School Past Students’ Association will be commemorating the 125th founding of their school under the theme, ‘Fit and Alive for 125’. The school community will be using the anniversary to celebrate each and every member of the community and looking with hope to the future.

The first event will be the annual school awards ceremony to acknowledge outstanding students of the school, to be held on November 14 at St Luke’s Anglican Church, Cross Roads, in St Andrew, commencing at 9 a.m. This will be followed in the evening by a welcome cocktail for overseas past students.

On November 15, all past students called swans have been invited to return to the school at 1 Leinster Road and interact with students from 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.. This will be a day of pep talks, career talks, sports, games and school-based fun. Later that day, all past students are invited to join in an evening of fun laughter and reminiscing at 22 Jerk, 22 Barbican Road, Kingston 6 starting at 7 p.m.

The highlight of the week will be the anniversary banquet which will be an evening of elegance, entertainment and awards to past students who have contributed not only to the legacy of the school, but nationally and globally. The banquet will commence at 7 p.m. on November 16 at The Jamaica Pegasus hotel in New Kingston, and the guest speaker will be Justice Marva McDonald Bishop, president of the Court of Appeal.

The school community gathers for a thanksgiving service at 10:30 a.m. on November 17 at St Luke’s Anglican Church, Cross Roads.

November 18 is slated for a fun day at Puerto Seco Beach in St Ann for all past students and their families.
