Welcome to the St. Hugh’s Alumnae Association of South Florida

Next Meeting August 14, 2010 at 3:00pm - 5pm (click to see meeting pictures)

Welcome to the St. Hugh’s Alumnae Association of South Florida, a 501(c)(3) organization created to serve our alma mater – St. Hugh’s High School at 1 Leinster Road, in Kingston, Jamaica. The St. Hugh’s Alumnae Association of South Florida was established in April 1989 and rebirthed in 2002.

The association’s goal is to congregate as alumnae to be a supporting resource to our school through many fundraising events such as our annual picnic (a Fidelitas Jazz replaced the picnic for the last two years) held in the month of May, and our prestigious Swan Dance held each November.

St. Hugh’s Alumnae Association of South Florida is open to all past students of St. Hugh’s High School and is governed by bylaws maintained by an executive board (President, Vice President, Secretary, Assistant Secretary, Treasurer, Assistant Treasurer, and Public Relations Executive). The organization membership meets on a regular basis to share updates from the school, to determine crucial projects, plan events, and plan our involvement with a local charity.

The St. Hugh’s Alumnae Association of South Florida welcomes all past students who would like to help support the high school that molded us to be the women we are today. Join us as we give back to help other young ladies create memories of their own.

Fidelitas in Florida!

St. Hugh's High School TURNING 110 YEARS OLD IN 2009 and still going strong

St. Hugh’s High School Song

St. Hugh of old was wise and bold,
A bishop of renown.
For man and bird and beast, we're told
Loved Hugh of Lincoln Town.
He conquered self by fast and prayer.
And when the fight was won
He wrought and toiled with zealous care to lead his people on!

St. Hugh's are we who loyally,
Doth sing his worthy praise.
Who strive in all fidelity to follow in his ways,
For still the lessons he would teach
Lead upwards to our goal,
but still the highest goals we reach,
by paths of self control!
(This stanza was removed in the 1950's)

We build our name and spread our fame,
And honour good St. Hugh
Whene'er we bring to task or game, the best that we can do.
In willing service, ordered rule
And duty fairly met
We'll write a record for our school
That time shall ne'er forget!

And when at last our school days past,
On other roads we fare,
Our hearts shall keep the sunshine cast
On these glad days we shared.
The knowledge won the vision gained,
God grant we may not lose; but cry from noble heights attained:
"We'll still keep faith, St. Hugh!"
