Students are able to interact with each other to share in each other's cultures, knowledge, and interests.

As a ESHS student, you may also be eligible to participate in ESHS's band, drama club, and honour societies. With campuses in Anegada, Virgin Gorda, and Tortola, as well as advanced programs already setup at H. Lavity Stoutt Community College, this school offers exciting opportunities year round to ESHS students.

ESHS's commitment to internationalism does not begin with our students or our early college study opportunities, it starts in the classroom. Elmore Stoutt High School teachers are committed to training students to be global citizens. Many of our staff members have strong committment in their special interests/areas topics that carry over into their own research. In fact, most have taught and/or practiced both in the Caribbean and abroad. Their diverse backgrounds make our classes more exciting and more relevant to today's global economy, and help us to produce well-rounded knowledgeable high school graduates.

Congratulations on taking this first exciting step by exploring all of the wonderful opportunities that the Elmore Stoutt High School has to offer.

Our School Philosophy

Elmore Stoutt High School believes that students are entitled to a broad education commensurate with their abilities and aspirations. This will give them a base from which they can cope with problems that may arise, earn a livelihood, develop good health habits, and use leisure time intelligently. The school should recognize the value of human dignity, accept individual differences, and promote mutual respect among students, teachers, and administrators.

Elmore Stoutt High School should provide the opportunity for a quality education by having competent administrators, teachers, guidance personnel, and curriculum that will meet the needs of a changing society.

A variety of current teaching methods should be provided to bring about the student's fullest self-realization according to his potential and worthwhile life goals. The school should provide up-to-date, well-kept facilities and equipment. Academic and vocational awareness should be provided at early stages of the high school education, as well as extra-curricular activities pertinent to the interests of students.

The School's Vission

The vision of Elmore Stoutt High School is educational excellence in a learning environment that is free from harm, free from humiliation, and free from harassment. All students will be accountable to high expectations from the community, the staff, their parents, and themselves. Each student shall know that there is an adult who cares about him or her as a person and as a student, whether it is a mentor, teacher, or parent.

The guidance area will maintain an open-door policy. The guidance personnel will support all students in preparing for post-secondary education that meets their individual career goals (i.e., 4-year or 2-year college, technical school, or other job-specific training). Discipline and order will be encouraged for the good of all in order to focus on quality education. The total program will be a “whole-child” approach, recognizing that problems in other areas impact academic performance.

The goals established with input from staff and community, provide positive motivation for high student achievement. These include teaching methods that are varied and oriented to the needs and gifts of the individual student. They will take into account diversity in learning styles and abilities. A broad curriculum content will be challenging and goal-oriented, and applicable to real-life problems and opportunities.

High expectations and a challenging curriculum are designed to prepare graduates to function with success in a global market economy. All parties, as well as a readiness to engage in this comprehensive and challenging program will demonstrate mutual respect.

Students will show pride in school, self and community. They will work toward individualized goals to achieve personal and social growth, academic learning, and career development. They are expected to demonstrate a positive attitude and a motivation to succeed.

Our goal is a 100% graduation rate followed by 100% of graduates participating in post-secondary training or education. The attendance rate will be 100%, and all students will grow into productive, contributing, and respected citizens.
