Happy Grove School
Scope and Contents
School in Jamaica begun by Friends ca. 1898. Under principal Montclair Hoffman, Happy Grove became a certified secondary school in 1921. During the 1930s, the school lost its $5,000 subsidy from the American Friends Board of Missions, causing great hardship during the end of Hoffman's tenure and during the administration of his successor, T. A. M. Grant. Dr. Kenneth B. M. Crooks was principal from 1941-1953.
