Clarendon College, commonly called CC, is a high school in the town of Chapelton in northern Clarendon, Jamaica.
It is the oldest school in the parish and was founded on 2 February 1942 by the Rev'd. Lester Davy, Minister of Religion of the Congregational Church Union of Jamaica.[1]
Lester Robert Davy was born in 1909, son of Ruth-Ann Eliza Davy (nee Phillips) and David S. Davy, of Davyton, Manchester. He originally trained as a teacher at The Mico University College in Kingston, Jamaica. Rev'd. T. Hughes of the Congregational Union of Jamaica convinced Davy to build a school and that he did accomplish at Rose Bank in Chapelton Clarendon.
The school started with only two teachers,[2] Rev. Davy and Mrs. Hyacinth Balford, and ten students, including Davy's nephew, Horace V. Freeman (later, CD, an attorney-at-law). The school was later relocated to its current location on Chapelton Hill. Following Davy'ss tragic death in a train accident at the end of February 1942, the school was administered by Rev'd. and Mrs. T. A. M. Grant. An annual march is held on February 2 to highlight and commemorate the legacy of Rev. Lester Davy.
The current principal of Clarendon College is David Wilson, and its motto reads: "Perstare et Praestare", which means "persevere and excel".
In 2023, the school football team beat Trinidad & Tobago to win the fourth KFC International School Football tournament.[3]
