New high school for Cayo

When the 2001 school year begins later this month, residents of the twin Cayo towns of San Ignacio and Santa Elena will find themselves with a new institution of higher learning. St. Ignatius High School will welcome its first students on August twenty-seventh. The new school, which will occupy the buildings formerly used for the Santa Elena RC primary school, is a project of the Catholic church with assistance from Area Representative Dan Silva and the local business community. According to principal Marie Scott, the ninety available first form spots have already been filled and there is a waiting list of twenty prospective students.
