Hurricane Melissa Relief
Healing Together After Melissa.
Hurricane Melissa has ravaged Jamaica and the parish of St. Elizabeth is among
the hardest hit — from its capital to surrounding communities. St. Elizabeth
Technical High School (STETHS) has sustained significant damage. More than
1,700 students are affected, with learning disrupted and social and emotional impact is at a record high.
But we will respond — and we need your help.
The STETHS Alumni Association USA Inc., a registered 501(c)(3) organization, has launched a multi-faceted relief initiative to help St. Elizabeth Technical High School and the surrounding communities return to some sense of normalcy as we navigate this difficult time.
