John Gray High School

John Gray High School Hold Fast That Which Is Good The Cayman High School didn't begin, however, until January 1949 when it was opened by Rev. Rev. Hicks asked Rev.

John Gray High School had its earliest beginnings in 1946 during the centenary celebration of the Presbyterian Church of Jamaica and Grand Cayman, when the idea of starting secondary education run on British lines in Grand Cayman was discussed. George Hicks, a Church of Scotland missionary in Grand Cayman since 1936, who was also an Inspector of Schools for the Cayman Government. John Gray, a Scottish missionary associate of his during his time in Jamaica, to take over the running of it and to assist with the ministry work. Gray became headmaster in April 1949. At that time, the school had only three teachers plus the headmaster and a handful of students, but was successful in the Senior Cambridge Examinations, with thirty three students gaining passes between 1952 and 1962. Funding was always difficult for the church and government began financial assistance in 1961 and took over complete control in 1964. Government ran two high schools, the Cayman High School, which was a grammar school and the Secondary Modern, which was a technical/vocational school. These two schools were amalgamated into a senior comprehensive in September 1970, which grew steadily in enrollment until it topped one thousand students. . The Cayman Islands Middle School was hence begun in September 1979 as a junior high feeding the Cayman Islands High School which became a senior school. These two schools grew to be equal in size and were renamed George Hicks High School and John Gray High School, respectively, in September 1992. Subsequent changes to the secondary school structure saw the amalgamation of George Hicks High School and the John Gray High School into one all through High School in September 2010. The new school structure featured grades ranging from seven to eleven.

The Ministry of Education and Training (MoET) and the Department of Education Services (DES) urge parents and guardians to make sure children are prepared for wet conditions throughout this week (21-25 September). This includes ensuring children have raincoats and umbrellas for drop-off, pick-up, and transitions between classes.
Parents and guardians are also asked to arrange to safely collect their children from the bus stop when they return from school.
This follows a Flood Alert issued by the Cayman Islands National Weather Service (CINWS) for all three islands through Monday, 21 September and a forecast of heavier rainfall on Tuesday, 22 September.
MoET and DES will continue closely monitoring the situation in consultation with Hazard Management Cayman Islands (HMCI), and will share any further school-related updates through social media and direct communication if conditions change.
