It was a momentous event during which our students acquitted themselves with poise, determination, class and that spirit of excellence fostered and nurtured here at THE Maggotty High School. Ladies and gentlemen, our students are on the rise. So for me, I am quite pleased to have the opportunity to be one of their coaches.
Special thanks to Ms. C Williams, Ms. A Neil and our hard-working and committed principal Mr. Sean Graham. Without the team it would never have been possible.
Congrats 🎉
