Titchfield High School was established in January 1786 and is the fifth-oldest high school in the country, after Wolmer’s Boys’, one of the Wolmer’s Schools (1729), Manning’s School (1738), St. Jago High School (1744), and Rusea’s High School (1777).

In the 18th century, these schools originated from their benefactors’ concerns for the education of the country’s poor, usually the children of poor whites, as there was no system in place for the education of the children of slaves.

In 1883, the Jamaica School Commission took over the management of the school from the school’s trust. According to the Alumni Association of Titchfield High, South Florida chapter, as of January 2008, there were 99 teachers for 1949 students in grades 7-13.

Titchfield was the first school to win Inter-Secondary Schools Girls Championships back-to-back, in 1963 and 1964 (its only two titles). In both 2011 and 2012, the school placed second in Television Jamaica’s School Challenge Quiz.

In 2016, the team which included Demario Asquitt, Zedan Martin, Tajay Edwards and Rajae Chambers and coached by Mr C. Roberts and Mr A. Sparks won the competition, defeating Campion College in the final match. This was the first win by a rural school in almost two decades and also made them only the 13th school to ever win the competition

The school has six extra-curricular houses named after the school’s past principals and/or outstanding benefactors. They are: Brown, Chin, Geddes, Grossett, Plant and Sherlock.

Over the past five years, Titchfield High School has earned significant accomplishments in academics, athletics, and school-wide recognition. Academically, the school achieved a “GOOD” overall School Effectiveness Rating, had top national CAPE students in Applied Mathematics and Electrical & Electronic Engineering Technology, and saw its English language students achieve high exam scores.

In athletics, the school’s track and field team earned its best finish in years at Champs 2025, with one gold and two bronze medals, and two students contributed to Jamaica’s U-16 netball team’s championship win. The school was also the 2025 Schools’ Challenge Quiz champion.

Academic achievements

School Effectiveness Rating: Awarded a “GOOD” overall School Effectiveness Rating (NEI 2024).CAPE Excellence: Had the 2025 national CAPE top students in Applied Mathematics Unit 1 and Electrical & Electronic Engineering Technology Unit 1.

English Language Proficiency: Students achieved an average score of 85% or higher on their 2024 end-of-year English exams.

Schools’ Challenge Quiz: Won the 2025 Schools’ Challenge Quiz competition. Track and Field: At Champs 2025, the team won one gold and two bronze medals, finishing 15th overall—their best showing in years.

Gold: Shavan Jarrett (800m). Bronze: Rajae Williams (High Jump) and Ajarie Bloomfield (Triple Jump). The 4x400m Relay team qualified for the Miami Classics. Netball: Two students, Akahla and Jayda, were key members of the U-16 team that won the Caribbean Junior Netball series.

Spirit of Care Award: Received the Spirit of Care Award from the Ministry of Education, Skills, Youth & Information for its overall achievements in academics and athletics.

Championships: Titchfield High was the first school to win back-to-back girls’ championships in 1963-1964. School Challenge Quiz: The school won the School Challenge Quiz competition in 2016.

Centennial celebrations: The school has celebrated its history with events, such as its 220th anniversary, which focused on community involvement and improving the school’s physical environment and financial support, according to the Jamaica Information Service.

Modern day: The school now has 1949 students and 99 teachers across grades 7-13 and remains a beacon of academic excellence in Jamaica.
