The dream of many parents and students from Innswood and its environs was realized when a team of officers from the Ministry of Education, Region 6 headed by Mr. Trevor Morgan, Education Officer, put things in gear for the opening of the school in September 2001. The school board was installed with Mr. Bacchus as its Chairman. This board along with Ministry of Education personnel headed by Mr. Trevor Morgan conducted a series of vigorous interview for academic, administrative and ancillary staff.
The school was official y opened on September 3, 2001 with 40 teachers on staff. The staff comprised 1st principal, Mr. Anthony Ewbanks and (2) Vice principals, Mrs. Redva Ferril and Mrs. Jacqueline Boyd-Vassel. The Principal, Vice Principals and teachers, along with Ministry officials continued to put things in place for the opening of the school to the students.
