Munro College pounded
POTSDAM, St Elizabeth — Category 4 Hurricane Beryl made a painful notch on a significant educational institution here when it ripped through the Santa Cruz Mountains and left extensive damage at the more-than-160-year-old Munro College last Wednesday.
Roofs, windows, solar panels, among other infrastructure, were destroyed at the famous all-boys’ high school that sits on approximately 150 acres of land at more than 2,000 feet above sea level, making its motto — In Are Sitam Quis Occultabit (A City Set On A Hill Cannot be Hid) — most appropriate.

It was started as the Munro and Dickenson Free School in Black River in 1856, two years earlier than its sister institution Hampton School.
When the Jamaica Observer visited the campus last Friday the journey there was filled with hurdles — namely downed trees, utility poles and wires — leaving sections of the campus inaccessible by vehicles.
