John Gray High School

John Gray High School (JGHS) is a senior high school in George Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands.[1]

History

Church of Scotland Missionary and Cayman Islands school inspector Rev. George Hicks opened Cayman High School in January 1949. Scottish missionary Rev. John Gray became the school's headmaster in April of that year. The Cayman Islands government began assisting the school in 1961 and took over its operations in 1964.[2]

In September 1970 it merged with the vocational school Secondary Modern, becoming a comprehensive school. The student population eventually reached 1,000.[2] In order to relieve Cayman High,[3] Cayman Islands Middle School opened in September 1979. Cayman High was renamed to John Gray High School in September 1992, and at the same time Cayman Islands Middle was renamed to George Hicks High School.[2] In 2012 John Gray High moved to the former George Hicks campus in George Town.[1]
