Our school has evolved from a Senior School to a Junior Secondary School, and now offers comprehensive Grade 10 and 11 programmes. We\u2019re proud of our students\u2019 achievements in the Jamaica School Certificate (J.S.C) Examination, Technical entrances, and the Grade 9 Achievement Test.<\/p><p>Our dedicated principals have guided us through the years, with Mrs. Yvette Richards-Thompson, a passionate educator who joined us in 2003, currently leading the way as Acting Principal. Our team of sixty academic staff members, along with administrative and ancillary staff, work tirelessly to provide a rich and diverse learning environment.<\/p><p>We\u2019re more than just a school &#8211; we\u2019re a community. We provide invaluable educational opportunities to our local residents, many of whom come from very low socio-economic backgrounds. Our school is a hub of activity, buzzing with the energy of the Sciences, Arts, Technical Vocational areas, and general academics.<\/p><p>The core values of Denham Town High are:<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #780020;\"><strong>P<\/strong><\/span>erseverance<br \/><span style=\"color: #780020;\"><strong>R<\/strong><\/span>espect<br \/><span style=\"color: #780020;\"><strong>I<\/strong><\/span>ntegrity<br \/><span style=\"color: #780020;\"><strong>D<\/strong><\/span>iscipline<br \/><span style=\"color: #780020;\"><strong>E<\/strong><\/span>xcellence<\/p><p>We\u2019re not just teaching &#8211; we\u2019re shaping the future leaders of tomorrow!<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to the extraordinary Denham Town High School!
