Principal's Message
Mr. Sean Graham
Let me use this opportunity to welcome you to the virtual environment of Maggotty High School. Consistent with the school’s motto, “striving for excellence through hard work and discipline” we are excited about having our own school’s web platform, as we seek to engage students and stakeholders in the 21st century.
The vision of the institution is “To be the premier secondary educational institution where students will access the academic, technical/vocational, and life skills necessary for becoming role models and nation builders”, and as the school positions itself in this regard, I hope that this app will be a vehicle for positive engagement.
Stay tuned for new and exciting development as we continue to inculcate positive values and attitudes in the nation’s children, while providing them with opportunities for academic progress.
Thank You.
Sean Graham (Mr.)
Principal

Sean believes that school leaders should revolutionize education and its effective delivery to students, therefore Principals should have the capacity to establish a shared vision and value systems for the school they lead.
