Sandy M. Harrigan-Underhill to leave HLSCC post by year-end
She took a short leave of absence earlier this year and during that period she was a candidate with the Opposition National Democratic Party (NDP) for the Fourth District. She; however, lost the election to Hon Luce D. Hodge-Smith, who is now the Junior Minister for Tourism and Culture.
This was Mrs Underhill's second loss at the elections, as she ran in 2019 with the same NDP as an At Large Candidate.
She returned to her post as the Director of Institute of Education following the 2023 general election; however, word is that she has given notice to the college that she will be stepping down from the post.
Many persons and the intellectual class believe Mrs Harrigan-Underhill was the best fit for the job, as she continues to be a leader in education management. Mrs Harrigan-Underhill was a former Principal of Elmore Stoutt High School (ESHS).
What is the job about?
It is unclear why Harrigan-Underhill is leaving her post, as the job is now being advertised by the college.
In her capacity as Director of the Institute, Harrigan-Underhill worked in conjunction with the Education Ministry to advance their mandates for the education training needs of the territory.
She served as an ambassador for education training locally, regionally, and internationally.
Director Harrigan-Underhill also has the responsibility for garnering support for the Institute and building strong partnerships in advancing the vision of the Institute. In her post, she is also responsible for leading the facilitation of training in education that is research-driven, innovative, and reflects current best practices in education.
