Charlemont High School is a secondary school in St Catherine, Jamaica. ==History== Charlemont High School was "conceived" by the late John Bernard Stephenson, a former Member of Parliament for North St Catherine. The idea came about as a result of concerns expressed by parents in the area whose children had to attend schools outside the area, as far as Kingston and Claremont in St Ann. The land was bought from the late Custos McGrath. The funds for the building and infrastructure came from businesses and service clubs in North St Catherine including Alcan Jamaica Limited, the Lions Club, the United States and the Jamaica Citrus Growers Association. The St Catherine Garden Club landscaped for the school grounds.〔Charlemont High Year Book〕 The school admitted its first students on September 11, 1978. There were three first forms and three second forms accommodating a total of two hundred and forty students. There were twelve teachers including the principal, Mr. Ruel Forsythe.〔Charlemont High Year Book〕 Mr. Forsythe left at the end of 1979 and was succeeded by Mr. Donaldson Bernard in September of the same year.〔Charlemont High Year Book〕 In 1981 the school was expanded with funds from the Norwegian Government. This was the start of phase two of the building program. Several classrooms and laboratories were built and the home economics center was expanded.〔Charlemont High Year Book〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charlemont High School, Jamaica」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
