2019 Greetings from
Principal Raymon Treasure, Dip. Ed, BA, MA.
Happy New Year my brothers and sisters of the Yorkist family. 2018 was an exceptional year for the Chapter. Your love for school and commitment to the development of Jamaica made a difference in the life of over 1420 students and over 120 staff at the York Castle. Your response to the call of President Dwight to support our beloved York Castle was phenomenal. Your effort to mobilise resources for school development has been well documented by the Ministry of Education. May the Lord continue to bless you all.
