Basketball & Netball

These are competitive sports to which Jonathan Grant is striving to stamp its mark.

 

Cricket

The school has stamped its mark in the pages of the Local School Boy Cricket by becoming the 1997 all island under sixteen Colts Champion. They defeated schools like Holmwood, Calabar, Kingston College, and Tivoli. For any cricket team, scoring a century symbolises the pinnacle of success. However, when Andre O'sullivan made 200 runs and Tamar Lambert a century and Howard Walters took 6 wickets for 21 runs, this was the ultimate. Tamar Lambert was chosen to represent Jamaica in the West Indies Under-15 team.

 

Football

Jonathan Grant was the first school in the parish of St, Catherine to win a major Inter-Secondary School Association competition- The Walker Cup. The school has claimed its place among the top schools in sports in Jamaica, with a representative Wollery Wolve on the Jamaica Reggae Boyz squad.

 

Track and Field

Jonathan Grant has proudced many track stars. Richard Smith, despite the odds, came out winner of the 800 meters, making history for the school at the Boys'Championship in 1992. Tanya Lawrence, a past student, dazzled the crowd at the 2000 Olympics by placing third in the 100 metre, defeating our own Merlene Ottey and the many other track stars around the world. Later she was the recipient of a gold medal at the Olympics in Seoul.
