What is the name of the secondary school Usain Bolt attended?

Usain Bolt attended William Knibb Memorial High School in Trelawny Parish, Jamaica. The school became an important early setting in his development from a talented young cricketer into a world-class sprinter.

William Knibb Memorial High School was founded in 1961 and is named after William Knibb, a nineteenth-century English missionary. Bolt entered the school as a teenager and initially enjoyed cricket as well as other sports. His cricket coach noticed his exceptional speed on the pitch and encouraged him to try athletics.

At William Knibb, Bolt was coached by former Olympic sprinter Pablo McNeil and Dwayne Jarrett. McNeil helped persuade him to focus more seriously on sprinting. Bolt won his first high-school championships medal in 2001, taking silver in the 200 metres in 22.04 seconds.

The school has also produced other Jamaican sprinters, including Michael Green and Marvin Anderson. Bolt later moved into Jamaica's more advanced national training system, but William Knibb remained the school where his sprinting potential first became clear.
