Welcome to Porus High School, a cornerstone of educational excellence in Manchester Parish since 1963. Located on Baptist Street in the heart of Porus, our institution has proudly served generations of students with unwavering dedication to academic achievement and personal growth. What began as Porus Senior School has evolved through various iterations—from secondary to comprehensive—finally becoming the distinguished Porus High School we know today.
For over six decades, we have remained committed to our founding principle of 'Learning For Living,' preparing students not just for academic success, but for meaningful lives as productive citizens. Our vibrant school community encompasses approximately 700 students drawn from diverse communities across both Manchester and Clarendon parishes, creating a rich tapestry of backgrounds and perspectives that enhances the learning experience for all.
Under the capable leadership of Principal Audrey Blake and Vice Principal David Lambert, along with our dedicated Board of Management chaired by Dr. Garth Anderson, Porus High School continues to adapt and innovate while maintaining our core values. We pride ourselves on fostering an environment where every student can discover their potential, pursue their passions, and develop the critical thinking skills necessary for success in our rapidly changing world.
At Porus High School, we believe education extends far beyond the classroom walls. Our comprehensive approach to learning emphasizes character development, community engagement, and leadership skills that will serve our students throughout their lives. We invite you to explore all that our school community has to offer and discover why Porus High School remains the educational institution of choice for families across Manchester and Clarendon.
