SCARRED by the impact of violence in surrounding communities over the years, Charlie Smith High school is now gradually heading back to its glory days in football.
Situated on Ninth Street in the tough inner-city community of South St Andrew, Charlie Smith is that ray of hope that often unites warring fractions. When the school's football team is doing well, lives are positively impacted.
The institution, which was built in 1975, then Jones Town Comprehensive and with a student population of approximately 1,200, is currently underpopulated with little over 600 pupils registered.
