For 250 years, Rusea’s has educated generations of young people who have gone on to serve their communities, their country and the world.

 

Among them are;

 

Professor Sir Kenneth O. Hall, educator and Jamaica’s fifth Governor-General.

 

Merlene Ottey, one of Jamaica’s great track-and-field pioneers.

 

DeShane Beckford, Jamaican international footballer and accomplished Rusean athlete.

​

Enid Gonsalves, distinguished educator, past student and later principal of her alma mater.

Their stories represent only a small part of a much larger Rusea’s story.

​

The gift was an education.
The legacy is what generations of Ruseans have done with it.

​

From 1777 to today, Martin Rusea’s gift continues, every time a student enters these halls, discovers possibility, and leaves prepared to make a difference.
