In 1979 Madge Anderson, a vice-principal at the school, succeeded Sister Paschal as principal. Ms. Anderson also assumed the presidency of the Jamaica Catholic Education Association. She retired in 1987 passing the baton of leadership on to Mrs. Christabel Augustus-Fuller. Serving until 1993, she oversaw the construction of The Matthew Ashe Building on the Junior Campus. Named in honour of a founding father, it added eight new classrooms and other facilities to the plant. Following was Mrs. Colleen Brown who served as principal from 1993 to 1999. Mrs. Joan Tyser-Mills OD. JP. served as principal from 1999 to 2008. A notable achievement during her tenure was the historic 2005 Manning Cup team that reached the semifinals of the competition. She also opened the Guidance Center on the Senior Campus and started to beautify the campus through planting many Royal Palm trees. Ms. Claudia Neale, an alumnae, acted as principal for the 2008-2009 academic year. In the following academic year history was created when the first male principal, Mr. Marlon Campbell, was appointed to the helm of the school. In 2015 the aesthetics of the campus was improved when the Lascelles Williams Park was opened and dedicated to the school's long time serving chairman and alumnus (he was in the first class of students that entered the school). It provides a space for recreational activities and dining.
