A momentous occasion is on the horizon as alumni of Cayman High School (CHS), Cayman Islands High School (CIHS), and John Gray High School (JGHS) come together to celebrate their 75th Anniversary. The celebration kicks off with a Gala on 22nd November 2024, followed by a Church Service on 24th November 2024.

Founded in 1949 as Cayman High School, the institution was originally a Presbyterian church initiative. Cayman High School began with the leadership of School Inspector George Hicks and was shortly thereafter replaced by Rev. John Gray, its first official principal. What started as a small educational venture has flourished into the public high school we know today, shaping thousands of young minds and making a lasting impact on the Cayman Islands.

As we reflect on 75 years of academic excellence, the alumni community is invited to return to honour the legacy of this beloved institution. The Gala will be a night of celebration, nostalgia, and reconnection, and the commemorative Church Service will offer a moment of reflection and gratitude for the role the school has played in so many lives.

“This milestone is a tribute to all the students, teachers, and staff who have contributed to the school’s legacy. We look forward to welcoming back alumni from every generation to celebrate this special occasion,” said Marva Bodden-Reid, President of the JGHS Parents and Teachers Association (PTA).
