The Sarah Morton Dormitory, named after Mrs. Sarah Morton, wife of the first Canadian Missionary to Trinidad and Tobago, was constructed in 1917. The dormitory housed young girls who lived far away from San Fernando and allowed them the opportunity to attend Naparima Girls’ High School, which at the time was one of the very few Secondary Schools in San Fernando. It was used as a dormitory until 1967 and thereafter, when its rooms became classrooms and speciality rooms for students attending NGHS.

Property of interest located in the City of San Fernando on a portion of lands occupied by  Naparima Girls’ High School, bounded on the north and west by Pointe-à-Pierre Road, on the east by the San Fernando Hill and on the west by  La Pique Road.
