Sir McChesney George Secondary School is a secondary school on the island of Barbuda in the country of Antigua and Barbuda in the Caribbean.[2]

The school was opened in 2012 and named in honour of Sir McChesney George, a member of the Antigua Labour Party who served as the Member for Barbuda in the Legislative Council from 1960 to 1965; and in the House of Representatives from 1965 to 1971.[3]

On September 1, 2010, construction on a set of classrooms was completed.[4] Following Hurricane Irma and the global COVID-19 pandemic, in September 2020 new facilities were completed including new lab spaces, retrofitting classrooms, and other changes to the main area of the school.[5] The school includes a vegetable and fruit garden.[6] [7]
