Ashkisha N. Maduro tipped to be new ESHS Principal
She is expected to replace the outgoing Principal, Mrs Vanessa K. Garraway, who retired last year but was called back for another year and will leave office in July of 2026.
Ms Maduro has been at the ETPS for 3 years, having been appointed in July of 2023. She also taught as a business teacher at the same ESHS. It is unclear whether she was the one being groomed or was understudying for the post, as Ministry of Education Officials are tight-lipped about her appointment and the process.
A very good principal at ETPS
The ETPS Principal, Ms Maduro, made headlines in 2024 when the idea was floated by her and staff to change the uniform colours and school motto. Ms Maudro, who is known for her innovation, got some pushback from the old guards in the Sea Cows Bay area who attended the school decades ago, along with some members of the ETPS Parent Teachers Association.
The current uniform colours of brown and gold remained unchanged for some 67 years. While at the ETPS, Ms Maduro has had a successful tenure where there were major improvements in the school's leadership and innovation. She has partnered with many businesses and individuals for donations to the school, and is regarded as a progressive and a go-getter.
She has been very accessible to both parents, students and members of the community and continues to work on many of the social challenges of her students to ensure they are ready to learn.
The Ministry of Education has not made an official announcement on the replacement of Ms Garraway.
Efforts to get a comment from Ms Maduro, Mrs Garraway, Education Minister Hon Sharie B. de Castro (AL) and Chief Education Officer Orlandette R. Crabbe were unsuccessful.

Our Schools are now the learn I ng and practicing platform of crime,,...more s p ecificlly,illicand firearms firearms.p
Th I s won't change in the near futur,most likelu,not at all.
The schools are now students from the CARICOM and Caribbean zones of endemic crime.,countries that are in the top ten list of crimes worldwide.
An effort systemically and knowingly imposed by the criminally minded and practiced local elected.
Only fooks break their own hearts.
Fitting lyrics are the greedy hedonistic selfish devilished BVIslanders past and present.
What people do in their private life when they not on the government's time is their business. Once an educator shows up to work properly dressed and conducts themselves in a professional manner we cant bash them for it. If you live in a glass house don't throw stones. A lot of you have worst than Sandy and do it in the dark until VINO break the news on you and your family. Focus on the matter at hand, and stop getting side tracked.
They skip over Ms.Todman and Penn Rogders the hog ..but Ackisha only 3 year she get it …alll 13 musssaa gooo
And change is always good. Ahyo stuck in ahyo old ways that’s all
Like many before say. What about the assistant principal mrs. Todman or ms lettsome or Wheatley.
Educational system going tonthe dogs
Countless teachers in this system crabbe rob many opportunities from the list so long so numerous to mention .
But let’s start with Shaunice Leonard look what they did to her at youth affairs and sport , Ikema hodge the teacher ETPS same ackisha friend and the list goes on and one and one
Only friendship gets jobs in the ministry .
You know how muchhhh jobbsss crabbe tekkk way from teachers countlessss timeeees she don’t give who deserve nddddd doann short list them
Just like how she do it her staff down Dey talking exposing she how wicked and nasty she is ….
Why was this position not advertised, and why were persons not given a fair opportunity to apply for it? This is madness. If anyone deserved this position, it would be Mrs Todman. She has gone above and beyond for the school and has contributed significantly to making the school what it is today , fewer fights on campus and a more settled, productive school environment. Worse yet, the staff at ESHS has not even been notified. Smh.
decisions may very well upset the apple cart in the coming months.
She going give that hog wash Antiguan girl up EAPS who don’t have no manner or respect ETPS …That west girl going replace the hog wash up EAPS.
But the main requirement is FRIENDSHIP not qualification.
As someone mentioned above Shaunice Beyond the Decor Big Boss is a perfect example because Debra Hodge up and down and around town saying she didn’t send for this job them call she to come here to replace Shaunice because the minister and crabbe sayyy under them death body shaunice getting that job .
And trust and believe me shaunice ain’t the first nor the second nor the last …I going give other ppl a chance to list all the teachers that happen to !!!!
Sharie enjoy your day BECAUSE THEM NUMBERED WE VOTING YOU OUT !
No, we don’t want Tanika as Principal either. Her demeanor is nasty but then again anything is possible with her sister being the Minister pssh.
If this news is indeed correct, sorry that Mrs Todman didn’t get a chance to prove herself in the position. Ms Maduro needed to come in as an Assistant Principal and learn the ropes first before becoming principal. It’ll be baptism by fire as primary and secondary are two different age groups of students with different needs.
Then we wonder why teacher morale is low and “don’t care.” Like a lot of teachers seriously don’t care and just going with the flow which is affecting the students as well.
Education is a social institution that is meant to create structure and foster development and the institution is a failure.
The school has fundamental issues that needs to be addressed. Separating the junior and seniors is one.
What God have for you will be for you.
Miss Minister good luck next year you day close
