It has been 40 years since Sister Mary Paschal Figueroa left St. Catherine High NE Alumni as principal, but her name still reverberates along the corridors and within the halls and classrooms of the institution, impacting effectively with positive vibrations, the current generation of students. The school’s various communities were at the forefront of the giant educator’s farewell service on May 2 at Clavar Home, St Andrew, highlighting the many accolades she received for her life of service, especially at St Catherine High. Sister Paschal, as she is more affectionately called, died at 2.04 pm April 19 at the Tony Thwaites Wing of the University Hospital of the West indies at 101 years. The service had a few selected individuals in attendance while being streamed virtually to thousands, because of the coronavirus (COVID-19) guidelines of the government of Jamaica. The outstanding educator had a distinguished career which lasted from 1936 until retiring as Principal of the Catholic-managed St Catherine High School in 1980. She had taken up the position in 1962, for 18 years, to be the longest-serving principal of the institution. Sister Paschal sowed the seeds of boys being admitted to St. Catherine High NE Alumni, with the first set attending in 1971, upon the request of the Ministry of Education, which was seeking to find a space in the secondary school system for boys in Spanish Town, where the school is situated.
