Edwin Allen High School, located in rural North West Clarendon, has incurred significant damage from Hurricane Melissa. The National Education Trust is overseeing assessments and will lead renovation. Donations will be needed to extend government funds. Edwin Allen High serves students from upper Clarendon, Manchester, St. Ann, and Trelawny. Most students live in agrarian areas with little commercial activity. This environment has shaped a school culture rooted in modest means, where many parents are often unemployed, farmers, or minimum-wage earners struggle to provide consistent support. A small number of students live with relatives due to parents residing overseas, and family structures vary widely.
