Nestled in the scenic parish of Manchester, May Day High School stands as a beacon of educational excellence in the May Day District. Since our humble beginnings as a primary school in 1954, we have evolved into a comprehensive secondary institution that has been proudly serving our community for nearly seven decades. Our transformation from a small primary school to an all-age institution, then to a comprehensive school, junior secondary, and finally to a full high school in 2000, reflects our unwavering commitment to meeting the educational needs of our students and community.
Under the dedicated leadership of Principal Stanford Davis and Vice Principal Pauline Brown-Hanley, along with the guidance of Board Chairman Lawrence Johnson, May Day High School has consistently expanded its academic offerings to prepare students for success in the modern world. We take great pride in our diverse curriculum that includes CSEC examinations, City & Guilds certifications, and NCTVET programs, ensuring that every student finds a pathway that matches their interests and abilities.
In 2018, we reached a significant milestone with the establishment of our sixth form program, offering both technical and traditional pathways for students seeking advanced education. This achievement represents our commitment to providing comprehensive educational opportunities that bridge the gap between secondary education and higher learning or professional careers. At May Day High School, we believe in nurturing not just academic excellence, but also character development, preparing our students to become confident, capable leaders in their chosen fields.
Our school community takes pride in our rich heritage and our forward-thinking approach to education. We continue to build upon our strong foundation while embracing innovation and modern teaching methodologies, ensuring that May Day High School remains a place where students can thrive academically, socially, and personally.
