Officially declaring her retirement was Chief Education Officer, Olato Sam, who in brief remarks highlighted the achievements of the school under the leadership of Ms. Primo. Noting that during her time the school’s academic performance has improved, as last year SJH had copped third spot for the 2014 Caribbean Secondary Examination Council (CSEC) exams.
