Donald Quarrie High

Our Motto: Achievement through Diligence

The school was founded in 1977 and is named in honour of Donald O'Riley Quarrie, a legendary Jamaican sprinter. We serve students from volatile communities in St Thomas and the Downtown Kingston area. Students and their families are from low socioeconomic backgrounds which hampers their growth and development. The school is poorly funded.
