A PROUD HERITAGE

OUR HISTORY

St. Jago High School — formerly Beckford & Smith — was founded in Spanish Town, St. Catherine, Jamaica in 1744, making it one of the oldest continuously operated schools in the Western Hemisphere.

Renowned for graduating some of Jamaica’s senior military officers, world-class cricketers, academic scholars and Olympic athletes, the school’s track legacy is unmatched in Jamaica.

Today, under Principal Collette Feurtado-Pryce and head coach Marlon Gayle, the school continues to develop exceptional talent — and the Champions Association is here to support them every step of the way.
