The Honorable Learie Constantine M.B.E. officially opened Tunapuna Government Secondary School,(now known as Tunapuna Secondary School) popularly called Tunapuna Central, on May 4th, 1962. The school was one of the new model schools that were constructed in the 1960’s to increase the intake of students receiving free secondary education, having successfully sat the then ‘Exhibition’ examinations. It was one of the early co-educational, government schools, which offered a five-year course of education to students who ranked in the top ten percent of the population of 11 plus achievers. The first group of students was a mere sixty since there was only one block built at the time. Today, the student population is just over five hundred, with a Principal, Vice-Principal and a teaching staff of thirty-one, two Clerical personnel, one Laboratory Assistant, and a Maintenance and Security (MTS) crew of seven.
