Herbert Morrison opens despite 18 classrooms, canteen out of service

Herbert Morrison Technical High School in Montego Bay, St James, has opened for the September 2026 school term despite ongoing restoration work to repair damage caused by Hurricane Melissa.

Newly installed principal Lavern Stewart said the school's operations got off to a smooth start this morning, although about 18 classroom spaces are still undergoing repairs.

“We were here up until about 8:00 last night (Sunday, September 6), making sure that everything was ready for the students, and I think we are at a comfortable space this morning. We are anticipating that all our students will come out, plus we had our orientations last week, and we are ready,” Stewart said.
