Grenada Boys Secondary School

The Grenada Boys' Secondary School (GBSS), originally called St. George's Grammar School, opened on February 2, 1885, with 10 male students at Mrs. Grey's premises in St. George's. In 1910-11, it was renamed and relocated to Melville Street, officially opening on September 18, 1911, with 23 students. In 1946, the school moved to Tanteen, using wooden barracks previously occupied by the Windward Island battalion during World War II. These barracks were destroyed by Hurricane Ivan in 2004, and the school faced further destruction from fires in 2005.The school underwent major renovations starting in 2006, with a new building completed by 2008 and further upgrades in 2021. Although primarily a boys' school, girls attended the sixth form and were briefly admitted to lower forms between 1982 and 1991.Today, GBSS has approximately 840 male students, supported by a principal, 50 teachers, and two counselors.[1]

In September 1952 the school moved to its present location in Tanteen, after a brief stint (1946-1952) on the compound of the Grenada Boys’ Secondary School.  On October 15th, 1972 the main building of the school was completely destroyed by fire.[4]
