Clarendon College, commonly called CC, is a high school in the town of Chapelton in northern Clarendon, Jamaica. It is the oldest school in the parish and was founded on February 2, 1942 by the Rev. Lester Davy. Rev. Davy was born in 1909 and trained at The Mico University College in Kingston, Jamaica. Reverent T. Hughs convinced Davy to build a school and indeed he did so. The school started with only two teachers, Rev. Davy and Mrs. Hyacinth Balford, and ten students. A march takes place every year on February 2 to highlight and commemorate the legacy of Rev. Davy.
