Page 19 SAHS BOARD CHAIR HIGHLIGHTS “INSTITUTIONAL GOVERNANCE FOR EXCELLENCE” AT CENTENARY EDUCATION CONFERENCE Kingston, Jamaica: St. Andrew High School for Girls (SAHS) marked a defining moment in its centenary celebrations with a powerful address on “Institutional Governance for Excellence” delivered by Mr. Radley D. Reid, Chairman of the Board of Management, at the ‘Centenary Education Conference’ held on March 19, 2026, at the school’s campus. In his keynote presentation, Mr. Reid reflected on the school’s 100 years of sustained excellence, tracing its growth from its founding in 1925 with just twenty‑one students to its present status as one of Jamaica’s most respected educational institutions. He emphasized that SAHS’s success is not accidental, but the result of intentional leadership, disciplined governance, and values‑based decision‑making. Addressing educators, alumni, parents, students, and invited guests, in an event expertly coordinated by past student, Communications Specialist, and SAHS ‘Centenary Ambassador,’ Ms. Elaine Wint, Mr. Reid outlined six core pillars of effective institutional governance that have underpinned the school’s century‑long achievement. These included he said, clarity of purpose, strategic leadership, accountability for continuous improvement, a strong institutional culture, sustainability and future readiness, and values‑based governance. He underscored the critical role of Boards as custodians of mission, noting that governance must operate at the strategic level rather than becoming entangled in day‑to‑day management. He also highlighted the importance of a strong and respectful partnership between the Board and school leadership, crediting the legacy of outstanding principals whose leadership continuity has contributed to the school’s stability and growth over the decades.
