Long Bay High School

Long Bay High School (LBHS) is a senior high school in Long Bay, Providenciales, Turks and Caicos.

History

It opened on 7 September 2015, making it the second senior high on the island.[1] 180 students were to be enrolled at the beginning.[2] The school was initially housed at Clement Howell High School as the first building was not yet complete for its planned October opening.[3] In that period Clement Howell and Long Bay students attended classes together, although the latter already began wearing their own uniforms.[4] Initially the school had the first form, with second form coming afterwards and with a plan for it being a full high school. In October of that year Carlton Mills became principal.[5]

The first Long Bay building, with a cost of $1 million U.S. dollars,[6] opened in November that year.[7] Construction of the second phase began that year.[8] The institution's third block, which has classrooms and laboratories for science classes, opened in 2018.[9]

In 2017 the Turks and Caicos Sun stated that "reliable sources" indicated overcrowding and a negative "temperament" of the principal.[10]

School uniforms

The school uniform consists of a white shirt, grey slacks and suit coat, and a yellow tie. Deandra S Hamilton of Magnetic Media reported that there were concerns that the uniform was unsuited for the local climate.[11] Long Bay students began wearing the Long Bay uniform from the beginning, when students were located at Clement Howell.[4]

gollark: I MAY join at a future or past time.
gollark: That units (GNU/Units?) thing seems very useful. They should advertise it more.
gollark: ... hi?
gollark: Can you just write binaries onto it through the shell they give you? Small ones.
gollark: This is, well, homelab-*adjacent* at least, so I figure I might get some help here: how can I copy my ebooks from Amazon Kindle (the service, I lost my actual physical Kindle) to Calibre? I can access them in the "cloud reader" thing and the Android app (on a rooted device, and also one old enough that it seems okay with storing some app data on SD cards), but have no idea how to import the files stored on there.
