The first day of Gaynstead High school was on April 22, 1941 in a single room at 39 Sackville Road, Vineyard Town. The school was started by Morton St. George Gaynair with four male students. By the end of the first year of operation the population had increased to 30 boys. In 1942, Morton Gaynair married Frederica Moore and Mrs. became the school’s mother and was instrumental in establishing a preparatory department. The school became co-educational 1951 when girls were admitted. As the school grew, there were problems in securing a permanent residence. This resulted in the school moving from Sackville Road to South Camp Road, to Norman Road, to Centre Street, to East Kings House Road, to Hope Road then to its current location at Central Avenue. Morton Gaynair died in 1995 and three years later in 1998 the school became Grant-in-aid. In 2002 the Preparatory Department closed. Gaynair died in 2004. Now Gaynstead accommodates approximately five hundred students. The school offers students a complete curriculum in the arts, sciences and business subjects to the CXC level, as well as sports, social and cultural co-curricular activities. Our pass students have move forward and are making solid contributions to the Jamaican society in the field of politics, medicine, education, business and in the armed forces, corroborating our school motto Non scholae sed vitae discimus, (We learn not for school, but for life)
