Formed in 1986, the St. Hugh’s High School Alumnae Association – New York Chapter – is one of the charter members of the Union of Jamaican Alumni Associations (UJAA), USA, Inc. Without much hype, the association has forged a big sister relationship with the school, in many key areas, including mentorship, scholarship and upkeep of the physical plant.Using an adversity as an opportunity, past students have forged a global alumnae network to boost its fundraising efforts and a five-year plan to assist the school in its shift to e-learning.“We did not drop out, so we don’t want them to drop out,” in the words of Claudette Powell, vice president and chair of the Health Sector of the Jamaica Diaspora/USA North East.
