Debe Secondary School is a co-educational public prestigious high school situated in Debe, South Trinidad. It was among the first ten schools established in 2000 under the SEMP (Secondary Education Modernization Programme), a project initiated by the Ministry of Education of the Government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago with the aim to modernize and reform the secondary education system, including improving access to educational opportunities for all children in Trinidad and Tobago.[1][2] Initially a 5-year secondary school, its academic success within its first five years led to the introduction of CAPE sixth form classes, thereby extending its offerings from forms 1 to 6.
