ABOUT
US
The Grenada
Boys’ Secondary School (GBSS) was founded on February 02,
1885 in St. George’s with 17 male Students. The school was
mainly located at the present Police Barracks on Melville
Street. In 1946 the school was relocated to Tanteen to
wooden Barracks which previously housed the Windward Island
Battalion for World War II.
The GBSS has
mainly been a boys’ school but girls have also attended
especially for the sixth form (A’ level) years. Girls were
actually admitted into form 1 from 1982 (during the
Revolution) to 1987 but were phased out by 1991. The wooden
barracks were completely destroyed by Hurricane Ivan in
2004. The school also experienced severe destruction from
two fires in April and June 2005. At present a new school
is being constructed.
The school’s
Auditorium was refurbished, through the kind sponsorship of
DIGICEL, after Hurricane Ivan.
Students: The
present school roll is 830 & Staff: 43 Teachers and 3
Counselors |
