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 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 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 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!"
