The history of AGHS began in 1886, when an English couple, Mr. and Mrs. Williams, came to Antigua due to ill health default of Mr. William. Mrs. Williams became the school's first principal. After her husband died, she brought in her sister and together they shared responsibility for running the school. At that time, the school had boarding facilities for local students, as well as students from neighboring Caribbean islands such as St. Kitts, Nevis, Montserrat, Dominica and Grenada. In 1902, Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Easie resigned and were succeeded by Mrs. Simpson, who served two years. From 1905 to 1944, Miss Millicent and May Branch served as joint principals. Due to the constant increase in the number of students, the school has changed its location several times. It moved first to St. Mary's Street, near the Nook, then to the East and Radcliff, back to St. Mary's Street and finally to its present location. At this time, the problem of adequate housing became pressing and thus the idea of ​​a building fund was born. It was also decided to create a board of trustees which would have complete control of the school. In 1964, the school became government property. During the 1960s, the school's curriculum was rather limited. Subjects such as biology, chemistry, physics, Spanish and music were excluded from the school's curricula. At the end of secondary school, many young girls only knew how to teach Latin, French and English. Many have gone through this without benefiting from a scientific subject. However, when the government took over the school, the curricula were expanded and science was included. A science laboratory was built, because before that, women had to take science classes at AGS. Today, in addition to science, business...... middle of paper ...... women aiming to present ourselves in the political arena- Gail Christian, Jacque-Quinn-Leandro and Joanne Massiah. Today, these young girls have found their place and two of them now hold ministerial positions in the government and one is a senator. This is what we can achieve once we break through these walls. From a school where admission was once based on social or economic status and not brains but birth, AGHS has come a long way. We now enter on the basis of our academic abilities and our results in the Common Entrance Examination. This school therefore challenges us to have multiple facets in our education and not to reduce ourselves to small horizons. We are proud that as a leading institution, it continues to demonstrate its ability to educate young Antiguan women so that they can take their rightful place in society. Long live the ANTIGUA GIRLS’ HIGH SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!
