Calabar High School - CHS

In true Calabar spirit grounded in faith, driven by strength and destined for victory. At the heart of who we are lies a deep and unwavering reverence for God. It is one of our core values, guiding every stride we take, every race we run and every challenge we overcome. In all things, we put God first, for it is through His grace that we are strengthened, sustained and inspired to pursue excellence.

As we gather in worship to bless our athletes ahead of Champs 2026, we unite as one brotherhood under God. With hearts aligned and purpose renewed, we fuel the spirit and unleash the lion within.

The Rotary Club of North St. Andrew continues to invest in the safety and wellbeing of our students.

The club presented a defibrillator to Calabar High School, strengthening the school’s emergency preparedness and ability to respond to cardiac emergencies on campus.

Today, on International Women's Day we pause to reflect on this year's theme: "Give to Gain."
It reminds us that meaningful progress is rarely achieved alone. It grows when we share knowledge, extend opportunities, mentor one another, and work together in the spirit of collaboration. When women support and uplift each other, we create pathways for even greater leadership, growth, and success.

Today we celebrate the many women whose contributions continue to strengthen our communities and inspire the next generation to rise with confidence, purpose, and possibility.

Sisterhood, synergy and school pride on full display 💙💚

The 11th staging of our Westwood Sisters joining the Calabar lions for their Annual Exchange Day was nothing short of inspiring as our Westwood sisters were welcomed by their brothers of Calabar High School, to tour our campus for a day of meaningful connection, vibrant interaction, and shared traditions.

From engaging discussions and cultural exchanges to laughter-filled moments and campus tours, the day strengthened bonds, built mutual respect, and celebrated the power of collaboration between two proud institutions. Here’s to 11 years of unity and many more to come!

We were honoured to welcome Dr. The Hon. Michael Lee-Chin to our campus for a courtesy call, followed by a highly engaging and inspiring interactive session with our Upper School students.

During the discussion, Dr. Lee-Chin emphasized the importance of having a clear plan for one’s life and pursuing personal and professional goals with discipline, focus, and rigor. His insights, practical wisdom, and candid reflections deeply resonated with our students, encouraging them to think intentionally about their futures and the steps required to achieve lasting success. It was truly a memorable and impactful experience for all in attendance.
