Albena Lake-Hodge Comprehensive School (ALHCS) is the sole government secondary school of Anguilla, in The Valley. As of 2017 it had about 1,062 students. It has two campuses, A and B. Forms 1-2 go to campus B while forms 3-6 go to Campus A.[1] It is named after Albena Lake-Hodge.

It opened as The Valley Secondary School on 21 September 1953. Its first principal, J. T. Thom, was from Guyana. It received its current name in 1986. It previously served only Anguilla's elite, but became a universal secondary school.[2]

In 2015 principal Ingrid Lake retired, so Joyce Webster became the principal.[3]

By 2016 the Anguillian government was developing a master plan for the school's redevelopment.[4]

There are 48 Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE) units offered, as well as 32 Caribbean Secondary Examination Certificate (CSEC) courses.[5]

School Song

Our eyes have seen the vision

Our hands in differing ways

Shall build a peace together

A school for future days.

CHORUS

Sing out, sing out

Long may she stand

A place of honour

In the land


Our mind shall give her beauty

Our spirit self control

Together we shall build her

A strong and living soul


Our hearts shall give her courage

Our lips shall speak her fair

We’ll laugh at her and love her

Defend her everywhere.
