TESTIMONIALS

Since becoming affiliated with the Jamaica Alumni Association of High Schools (JAAHS), Cornwall College has had a fruitful partnership. The association with JAAHS provides an avenue for the exchange of experiences with many Alumni Associations across the length and breadth of Jamaica and as such is a fertile environment for the germination and development of great ideas.

The COVID 19 pandemic proved the mettle of JAAHS when it partnered with UJAA, AJAA and the Lasco Foundation to provide care packages to needy families at High Schools, a venture on which Cornwall College collaborated.

Another initiative which epitomized the mandate and heart of the organization was the execution of the JAAHS Fish Fry in which approximately 80% of the proceeds went to member schools that participated.

This provided a much-needed fillip in these challenging times.

Again, Cornwall College partnered with JAAHS to host the Western Edition of that initiative. All in all, Cornwall College is pleased to be associated with JAAHS, and looks forward to continuing this strategic partnership.
