Friday August 13 is the final day for interested contractors to submit their expressions of interest to the RDA for the construction of new classrooms at the Elmore Stoutt High School (ESHS).

This is a first step in the process to relocate ESHS Senior Students from the CTL Building in Pasea back to the main ESHS campus.

Premier of the Virgin Islands Honourable Andrew A. Fahie announced plans to relocate the students at a contract signing ceremony for the Long Trench Slope Stabiliation and Road Rehabilitation Project earlier this week.

Premier Fahie said, “The project with the moving of our children, our senior students and also the teachers and support staff from the CTL building to the Elmore Stoutt High School campus is a project that is already on the way, which we will be moving very swiftly with, with a projected date of completion by the end of April 2022.”

Minister for Education, Culture, Youth Affairs, Fisheries and Agriculture, Dr. the  Honorable Natalio D. Wheatley said he was happy that the project is coming on stream. Honourable Wheatley in a statement on the reopening of schools this week said, “The Premier and Minister of Finance has agreed to finance the construction of additional school buildings on the Elmore Stoutt High School Campus to accommodate senior school students presently housed at Pasea Estate, and the growing population of Junior School students.”
