[5] In October 1972, during the unrest precipitated by discussions with Great Britain over Grenada's independence, the school was destroyed by fire.
The public works employees were ordered to make repairs to an abandoned government school on Melville Street to temporarily house the students.
The Anglican High School Past Pupil Association and the Grenadian government worked together to rebuild the two-storey structure,[8] and through the years have completed several expansions to the property.
[10] From 1916 to the 1950s, the curriculum of the school included biology and general science, British history, geography, literature, mathematics, religion and a variety of language courses—English, French, Latin and Spanish.
The school currently offers 21 subjects including those mentioned previously, as well as accounting, business and office administration, information technology, and technical drawing.
