ACADEMICSGrades 7 – 11
• Lacovia High School has undergone several
transitions since its inception in 1970 to
the present, moving from junior secondary
to secondary, comprehensive high and now
to its present status of a high school.
• These changes brought their own
challenges: Amidst these challenges the
institution has cultivated a rich tradition in
education.
• Students have excelled academically,
performing creditably in external
examinations.
• Students have also excelled in extra-
curricular activities including 4-H, Da-
Costa Cup and Science Competitions.
With an academic staff complement of over 73 highly trained and diligent teachers on two shifts, the student population now stands at over 1500, with students coming from almost every community in St. Elizabeth and the neighboring parishes of St. James, Manchester and Westmoreland.
