The STATHS Junior Achievement Company, which was formed in 1985,
was adjudged the top company among high schools in 1988 and was
awarded the Seprod Trophy. In 1989 the school continued on this oath
of excellence when the Home Economics Department won the ICD
Group of Companies Home Electrix Home Management Competition.
The Carreras Group of Companies through its subsidiary the Jamaica
Biscuit Company established a special relationship with the school in
1989 under the Ministry of Education's Adopt-A-School Programme. The
school has benefited tremendously from this programme.
In July 1990 S.W. Isaac-Henry Principal for twenty-one years died. He
was succeeded by Mrs. Carole Powell, the school's first female principal,
who continued to build on the excellent foundation that had been laid.
Mr. Conrad Brown the Vice Principal retired. Mr. Vincent Rhoden, Head
of the Electrical Department was appointed Vice Principal of Industrial
Educations and Projects. In 1992 the Learning Centre was upgraded to
a Computer Laboratory. Additional computers were acquired and
students were now being trained in information technology.
In the 1990s the school continued to excel in academics, the arts and
sports. In 1999, Evening School student Patrick Williams placed second
in the world in the City and Guilds Electronics Examination. In 1994 the
Drama Club won a gold medal in the JCDC Speech and Drama Festival.
In 1995 the Athletics team won overall champions at the Jambisco
Development Meet.
Mrs. Powell resigned in 1996 after giving over thirty years of dedicated
service to STATHS. The mantle was passed on to the Reverend Ronald
Walters. Reverend Walters headed the institution for two years. In
September 1998, Mrs. Curline Christie was promoted to the position of
Acting Principal. Mrs. Christie and the hardworking staff at the
institution have ensured the continued growth and success of the
school.
In 1997 the school was selected to benefit from the HEART/NTA
Technical High Schools Development Project. Under this project the
Library has been upgraded and provided with four computers through
which staff and students have been able to access the Internet. The
Home Economics Department and the Science and Computer
Laboratories have also been upgraded. The Teacher of The Year
Competition was also introduced as a part of the project. Mrs. Violet
McCalla, Head of the Language Department was selected as Teacher of
the Year for STATHS in 2000. In 1998 through the hard work of
teachers, present and past students a school bus was purchased.
The St Andrew Technical High School is now poised to surpass its great
achievements of the past forty years. During the first four months of
the twenty-first century the school has won the Technical High School
Science and Technology Quiz Competition, the rugby team won the
Corporate Area Under-19 Rugby League and the Spanish Club won
several medals at the National Spanish Festival. Also worthy of
mention, STATHS Basketball team was National Champion in 2001.
STATHS will continue to guide its students into becoming well-rounded
individuals with a sense of personal, social and moral responsibility,
empowered to make the transition into further education and
employment.
