York Castle High School Student is Jamaica’s Top CSEC Performer
York Castle, a prominent high school located in St. Ann is continuing it’s usual practice of churning out some of Jamaica’s best performing CSEC students.
According to a report by The Gleaner, York Castle’s Fitzroy Wickham was last Friday confirmed as the top-performing Jamaican student in this year’s Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) examinations.
Wickham sat and passed 12 subjects at grade-one level, including 11 distinctions.
“I’m feeling good, accomplished and surprised as well,” Wickham told The Gleaner on Saturday.
He passed Mathematics, Additional Maths, English Language, English Literature, Biology, Chemistry, Human and Social Biology, Spanish, Information Technology, Caribbean History, Religious Education, and Physics.
“I expected to do well, but not this well, to be top-performing student,” he added.
Earlier this year, Wickham received an award from member of parliament (MP) for North West St Ann, Dr Dayton Campbell, during the MP’s annual top achievers award function. He was accompanied then by his mother, Florence Wickham, and sister, Kimberly, both of whom have supported him along the way.
“My mom is overjoyed. It took a while for it to sink in, but she’s overjoyed,” he said. “My sister is also feeling good.”

Wow!! Congratulations!!
My God, not a mention of Dad. It makes me sad, or was it just an oversight on the part of the reporter. I hope the latter.
Congrats hard work and studying pays out after , go for your goal now dont stop
congratulation young man, keep striving for excellence. very unfortunate that no reference was made of Dad. Perhaps he is dead and buried or dead and not buried as yet. sad.
congrat my son, hard work yield success
Thanks to all who have expressed thoughts of congratulations and encouragement. The reason there was no mention of a father was because he passed away some 14 yrs ago when I was only 2 yrs. An unfortunate occurrence. I did not know him well but judging by what I have heard of him, he would have supported me 100% and would have been extremely proud of me. My mom has done a very good job as a single mother and I am sure he would have been proud of what she has accomplished, as well.
Well done Fitzroy
Well done, Fitzroy! May God continue to bless you and all the other persons who have supported you along the journey.
