Friday is the final day for interested contractors to submit their expressions of interest to the RDA for the construction of new classrooms at the Elmore Stoutt High School (ESHS).

This is a first step in the process to relocate ESHS Senior Students from the CTL Building in Pasea back to the main ESHS campus.

Earlier this week, at a contract signing ceremony for the Long Trench Slope Stabilization and Road Rehabilitation Project, Premier of the Virgin Islands Honourable Andrew A. Fahie publicly announced the plans to relocate the students.

“The project with the moving of our children, our senior students and also the teachers and support staff from the CTL building to the Elmore Stoutt High School campus is a project that is already on the way, which we will be moving very swiftly with, with a projected date of completion by the end of April 2022,” the Premier said.

Minister for Education, Culture, Youth Affairs, Fisheries and Agriculture Honorable Natalio Wheatly in a statement on the reopening of schools this week said, “The Premier and Minister of Finance has agreed to finance the construction of additional school buildings on the Elmore Stoutt High School Campus to accommodate senior school students presently housed at Pasea Estate, and the growing population of Junior School students,”
