History

Saint Mary's College opened on 20 April 1890, founded by Rev. Louis Tapon as the first secondary school in Saint Lucia.[1] [2]

In 2022 there was a legal case after the head sent a student home because he had a full head of hair. Judge Kimberly Cenac-Phulgence granted an injunction obliging the school to admit the student while the dispute was settled.[3]
