"SIC LUCEAT LUX" - "Let Your Light Shine" your light so shine before men that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven"
(Matthew 5:16)

This is the vision which inspired the establishment of Manchester School in 1855... this is the vision which has captured the imagination of thousands of young minds in the ensuing years, impelling them to excel, leaving trails of brilliance in their wake as they pass through the portals of this institution.

Quote from Gerrard "Gerry" McDaniel (1975-1982) Excerpt: The Lighthouse Manchester High Directory of Alumni - 1992

Background
Manchester High School located in Mandeville, Jamaica W.I. was established in 1855 from funding made available by the Vere Trust.

In 1856, the first Trustees were appointed and the school was open at premises (the former location of old Manchester Public Library) adjacent to the Parish Church in Mandeville, the property was acquired and a school building was erected in 1861. Up to 1921 only boys attended the school at the above location, the girls campus was located in a separate building. The present site at Perth Road was acquired from the Anglican Church.

Manchester High Past Students‘ Association (Toronto Chapter) was formed in 1992. A leadership team was elected in April of 1993. The leadership and members are aware that the needs of the school are not only financial and has aligned their vision to focus on ways to assist with improving the quality of education and service delivered at Manchester High School.
