Our Mission and Project Goals
St. Hugh’s High School for Girls is dedicated to “educating the whole child”—a commitment that encompasses academic excellence, personal growth, and active citizenship. To sustain this mission and support the development of our students, it is essential to revitalize the Netball and Volleyball Courts. These facilities are crucial for maintaining our top-tier teams in Jamaican netball and volleyball, providing safe and accessible spaces for training and competitions.
2024 Projects
Revitalizing the Netball and Volleyball Courts
The Alumnae has once again embraced its mission to support our younger sisters in Jamaica by selecting a crucial project beginning in 2024. This year, we are focusing on revitalizing the Netball and Volleyball Courts located next to our gymnasium.
The Importance of Sports in Education
Sports play a vital role in the holistic development of students. They contribute significantly to physical, mental, and social well-being, preparing students for future success in various aspects of life. The balance created by participating in sports enhances not only the individual student but also the entire school community and society as a whole.
Jamaica’s prominence in the global sports arena is a testament to the exceptional talent and achievements of our athletes. St. Hugh’s High School for Girls has a proud tradition of nurturing students who excel both academically and athletically, contributing positively to Jamaica and the world.
September 2022 Cafeteria Update
During the Spring meeting of the Global Alumnae Associations, Principal Mrs. Andrea Bryan-Hughes emphasized the cafeteria refurbishing project as her top priority for 2022. With the resident concessionaires scheduled to vacate at the end of the school year in June and take their equipment with them, the school faced a tight three-month deadline to raise funds for new equipment and perform a general facelift, including painting and other cosmetic updates.
Thanks to the tremendous success of our Fish Fry fundraiser, our Chapter was able to contribute CAD $3,000 toward the cafeteria project. Combined with donations from other chapters around the world, we successfully met our target. The cafeteria was refurbished and reopened in September, ready to serve meals to students and staff. This revitalized space not only enhances our daily dining experience but also generates income to support additional school initiatives.
FUNDRAISING
To achieve the goal of revitalizing these facilities, the Alumnae has set a fundraising target of CAD $40,000.
We are excited to announce two major fundraising events for 2024:
SPRING BRUNCH 2024
June 9, 2024

These events, along with general donations, will play a significant role in reaching our fundraising goal.
