deCARTERET HOUSE

In 1925 at the Anglican Synod, Bishop George deCarteret announced that a new secondary school for boys would be opened in April and Bishop Gibson would be the Headmaster.

Rev. Percival Williams Gibson and KC were on their way. The property at 144 3/4 East Street, was purchased by Rev. Gibson and his sister Gwendolyn Gibson for £1,100.

Later £90 was advanced to the school from Bishop deCarteret to furnish the school. He was re-paid in full.

Born in 1986, he died in England on January 3, 1932, less than a year after leaving Jamaica.

deCarteret House was named in his honor in 1938.
