ESHS switches to remote learning after frequent brawls on campus
Our News Centre was told that frequent brawls among students have been occurring since last week.
Teacher assaulted by group of students
On Tuesday, April 30, 2024, however, a male teacher was assaulted by a group of male students in the school’s parking lot.
According to reports, the teacher was attacked when he was still in his vehicle. The attack continued when he exited his vehicle but was saved from serious injuries by other students.
It is unclear if anyone has been arrested or charged.
School's remote learning plan activated
The Ministry of Education announced on Thursday that, in response to incidents of extreme misconduct that occurred on campus this week, the Ministry, in consultation with the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force, has taken a decision to activate the school's remote learning plan on Friday, May 3, 2024.
“After consultation, it was deemed necessary to implement this measure as our primary concern is the safety and well-being of our students, faculty and staff. By transitioning to remote learning on Friday 3rd May, we aim to provide a secure environment for all while facilitating the ongoing investigation by the police,” the letter to parents stated.
The Ministry said it will provide regular updates as the “situation unfolds” and endeavoured to keep parents informed of any developments.
While students have to stay home today, teachers; however, have been mandated to show up for school.

powers..Build a detention holding cell at the school to hold them until the police and or parents come to get them..
I'm all for giving students a 2nd chance but get rid of them problem children if them can't be productive and only causing mess.
Night school for them less attention for them there
or send them Haiti to assist the US with the gang war since they so bad and violent
The youths need good role models
the youths need goals and a future to look to
the youths need to be thought morals
the youths need hands on hobbies/ afterschool activities
Violence and certain songs/artist should be frown upon and chastised
too many youths glorify gangs, sex, drugs etc. Look at how they are dressed. looked at the songs they listen too. look at the company they keep. look at who your daughters are around. watch those kia souls. watch those scooters. watch those gucci/nugget chains those are red flags around ur child!
parenmts, goverment, teachers, community all needs to play a role
There are too many children, class size is too big, the discipline is crap, there is no one stopping the drug scooter boys outside the gate from harassing/ recruiting the kids.
Go park outside the school and watch drop off / lunch / pick up and hang around to watch the movement of kids within the school at class change and you will see why there are issues.
Come Monday, nothing will be done to address the issue at hand.
A complete waste of votes.
Let them patrol the campus, not looking for anyone or anything. Their regular presence and positive interactions with students can help to build trust.
When the police do need to question staff and students about illegal matters, they will be ready to share information.
Immigration Officers and Customs Officers can patrol the campus and engage with staff and students as well from time to time.
One more thing...there needs to be a separate campus (actual school facility) for junior students and senior students.
I am not an expert in school campus management. I don't envy those whose responsibility it is to sort out ESHS campus. But I am sad to see innocent childrens' education being thrown under a bus like this. It is not right.
