Eight months after Hurricane Melissa battered St Elizabeth Technical High School (STETHS), Principal Keith Wellington says the institution is on track to emerge stronger than before but is still in need of critical infrastructure to ensure greater resilience against future disasters.
Addressing the school's graduation ceremony today, Wellington said signs of recovery are evident across the Santa Cruz-based institution and expressed confidence that the school would be fully functional by the start of the new academic year in September.
"The day after the hurricane, I did say that it would take us at least eight months to recover. We are now about eight months on, and the signs are there that we will be fully functional from September," he said.
