The Cabinet welcomed the Chairperson of the Princess Margaret School (PMS) Alumni Association, accompanied by the Principal and two executive members of the Association.
The school was founded 70 years ago on April 26 1955, and is planning a refurbishment of the buildings, the industrial training center, the playing field, and to fence it properly.
The cost is likely to exceed a half-million dollars; no specific dates and timelines have been proposed for the commencement of these projects.
However, a facelift of the main building for the 70th anniversary celebration is expected. The Cabinet was told that there are four schools in the world named after Princess Margaret; one is in London, one in Canada, one in Barbados, and the fourth in Antigua.
There is no intention to re-name the school. The PMS is well known for its prowess in sports and CXC regional exams.
A plan is afoot to upgrade the hall, built to accommodate 250 students maximum; today, the student body is now made up of 955 youth.
The field is to become a multipurpose sporting area used by other schools and community groups.
The Cabinet promised to do all that it can to support the effort, with the guaranteed support of the Chairman of Cabinet and the Minister of Health—both PMS alumni.

Agreed, this school has done a lot for it student. This well deserved.
Kudos to the PMS Alumni Association for stepping up! Community involvement makes a big difference.
I hope this includes improvements to classrooms, facilities, and student resources.
will there be opportunities for public-private partnerships?
I hope they ensure students and teachers have a say in what improvements are most needed.
This is a positive step! Hope other schools get similar attention for much-needed upgrades.
Much-needed initiative! Hope this support includes long-term maintenance, not just a one-time fix.
A very positive direction. I must comment the Alumni association, the staff/principal and the cabinet of Antigua for pledging its support.
Hope the renovation process is soon and does not take so long
