Dear Editor,

Please permit me a few sentences to publicly commend the principal and staff at Christiana High School for the excellent work the school has been doing in preparing its students over the years.

As a non-traditional high school, the institution has made significant progress in its academic and behavioural output over the last 10 years. The school is now highly sought after by many students who would normally aspire to be at a traditional high school.

Principal Leecent Wallace is to be commended for his astute leadership of the institution.

This year Christiana High School celebrates its 60th anniversary, dubbed its diamond jubilee. I want to extend heartfelt congratulations to the entire Christiana High School family for 60 wonderful years of providing quality education to the children of Manchester in particular, and Jamaica as a whole. As your motto says: “Our Best Is Jamaica’s Hope”

Happy 60th anniversary Christiana High School! The word is always love.

Andre A O Wellington, JP

Dean of discipline

Alston High School
