Holy Cross Anglican School Letter
My husband and I are frequent visitors to San Pedro. We volunteer regularly at Holy Cross Anglican School. Recently, we were invited to explore local housing opportunities by Reef Village. While there, we inquired into community involvement by the corporation. One of the officials made a curious statement, stating that “they” were assisting Holy Cross to relocate. We do know that the school is an integral part of Island education and the Anglican Diocese has legal title to the property with no intent to move. Why would the school move, as it serves the San Mateo people and their children?
Comments of this sort are both patently false and very disconcerting to local people who depend on Holy Cross for their children’s education. This leads to questioning whether events are occurring behind the scenes which can undermine the good work of the school and its employees/volunteers. Holy Cross is a jewel which requires support and nurturing. These are your children and education is their future.
Respectfully,
Heather and Rick Leslie

This is disturbing to me as Director of Holy Cross Anglican school.
I do know that last year Mr. Pierce and some Gov. officials had a meeting in Belize City to discuss closing the school and or relocating it.
I was not invited to the meeting and only found out about it after the fact.
The Minister of Education when he found out about it said that it would not be closed down.
