Samuel Saltus Descendant of Richard Norwood (1622)
Samuel Saltus, after whom the school is named, was a descendant of Richard Norwood who first surveyed the Bermuda Islands in 1622. At his death in 1880 Saltus left a bequest in his will for the founding of a boys' school, but it was not until 6th February, 1888 that Saltus Grammar School first opened its doors in the Pembroke Sunday School Building at the corner of North and Angle Streets in Hamilton, with thirty-five students enrolled.
In 1893, the School moved to “Woodlands,” an historic house which still serves as the heart of the current main campus.

- Ted Staunton, Head of School
