School museum opened at St Andrew High
Friday, April 08, 2011
THE St Andrew High School for Girls today became the first educational institution to open a school museum in Jamaica.
The museum, which was funded by members of the school alumnae and is built in recognition of past administrator, Mrs Emrie James, as the institution celebrates their 85 year anniversary (1925-2010).
The unveiling ceremony was attended by dignitaries from the education ministry, led by Minister of Education Andrew Holness.
"I endorse this move and I must say from the bottom of my heart I respect this school," said Holness.
Alumnae, including Maxine Henry-Wilson and wife of the Governor General Lady Hall, who were in attendance, expressed their pride at seeing the museum become a reality.
"Cherish this museum young ladies, as we remember the people who made all this possible," said Lady Hall.
