The YCHS Principal, Mrs. Beverly Hawthorne, has just informed the Past Students Association that Jamaica's Governor General (GG), Professor Sir Kenneth Hall and Lady Hall will be visiting York Castle High School, in Brown's Town St. Ann this Friday morning, April 4th, 2008.

The GG and Lady Hall will be honouring YCHS for its achievement in the recent CXC examinations. YCHS is one of the schools in the Ministry of Education's territory (Region 3) being honoured by the GG for this year's CXC achievement in addition to these schools achievements over the years with the CXC.

To salute YCHS' CXC achievement, the GG will be planting a tree in the vicinity along the steps to the school's auditorium (close to the playing field)…if we all can remember that's quite a walk down those steps!

Other distinguished members of the GG's party will include: St. Ann's Custos, Hon. Radcliffe Walters, Chef D Affaire, Dr. Simon Clarke, Chief Educational Officer-Ministry of Education, Mr. Jasper Lawrence, Region 3's Territorial Officer, Mrs. Dawn Gilmore and staff members from the GG's office.

Included in the welcome party representing YCHS will be the school's Board Chairman, Rev. Dr. Byron Chambers. The YCHS Board Vice-Chairman, Rev Stephen Mullings will be chairing this brief tree-planting ceremony.

Again, what can we say as past students of this noble institution…NIL SINE MAGNO LABORE…Nothing is Achieved without Hard Work…truly a proud moment for us all.
