Kingston High School is one of the pilot schools in the e-Learning Jamaica Project. It is perhaps best known as the alma mater of Dr Franklin Johnston and songbird Marcia Griffiths. It was chosen as the school at which the ceremonial handover of equipment installed under the project would take place.
For Principal, Charles Reid, the challenges of the urban school, are goals to overcome, as he encourages the young people in the school community to demonstrate their talents and strengths. He is determined to show that his team will make the best use of the investment, and the technology improvements, now available.
The students who performed and participated at the function demonstrated that talent abounds, and expressed sincere thanks in unique ways.
Despite the enthusiasm surrounding the delivery and acceptance of the equipment, there is a realisation that it will be at the subject and class level that change and improvement will take place.
