History

It was previously BVI High School (BVIHS). In September 2012 Wade Tobin became acting principal, but Vanessa Garraway became the acting principal when the former went to the hospital.[1]

In 2017 Hurricane Irma affected BVI and damaged the school building, so students had to move to the former Clarence Thomas Ltd building in Pasea Estate. The students were divided into two shifts as the temporary building is not big enough to accommodate the students at the same time.[2] Students in the morning shift are to go to after school programmes to keep themselves occupied.[3]

Campus

The Lillian Adorothy Turnbull Building is in the shape of an L. It received its current name in 2019.[4]
