Charlemont

Address: Charlemont Principal: Mr. Garth Gayle Founder: John Bernard Stephenson Founded: 1978 Colors: White, Red 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.
