scb_admin_history Clarendon College, is a high school in the town of Chapelton in northern Clarendon, Jamaica. It is the oldest school in its parish and was founded on February 2, 1942 by the Reverend Lester Davy, Minister of Religion of the Congregational Church Union of Jamaica. Lester Robert Davy was born in 1909, and originally trained as a teacher at The Mico University College in Kingston, Jamaica. The school was originally opened at Rose Bank in Chapelton Clarendon, and began with only two teachers, Rev. Davy and Mrs. Hyacinth Balford, and ten students. The school was later relocated to its current location on Chapelton Hill. Following Lester Davy's death in a train accident at the end of February 1942, the school was administered by Reverend. and Mrs. T. A. M. Grant, and supported by the Colonial Missionary Society. An annual march is held on February 2 to highlight and commemorate the legacy of Rev. Lester Davy.
