IHS alumni on their initial walk that brought them visibility.
The Intermediate High School (IHS) Alumni Association, with its motto “One Alumni, One Mission”, is off to a good start.

Since its formation in 2025, the Association has embarked on a number of events to encourage membership, consolidate the organization and to build camaraderie.

At home, a walk from the “old school” premises in Kingstown to the current location at McKies Hill was the forerunner to the launch of a Mentorship, which is driven by past students and, to date, has been well-received by the current school enrollment.

Other activities to date include:  a Meet and Greet Cocktail at a Paradise Inn; a boat ride to picnic in Bequia; a Family Sports Day and Picnic at Mount Wynn; Church Service; and Reunion Gala at Spring Garden.

The activities have helped to expand membership, encourage togetherness among members, and solidify a commitment to the school’s curricular and extracurricular programmers.

With respect to assistance to the school, the Association has contributed to several aspects of the school’s development – enhancing the environment of the learning room, providing equipment for the music and athletics programmes, in addition to making direct, albeit, small donations to the school.

The most recent donation to the music programme came compliments alumnus and legendary musician/bass player- Harold “Plumie” Lewis who resides in the USA.

And as the Associations looks towards marking the 100th anniversary (1926 – 2026), a programme of activities has been planned that will climax in October.

These include:  Vincy Picnics in North America, a Walk, Fund day, Back0in-0time party, Church Service, Reunion Gala and a Boat ride to Bequia.

The Association is pleased that it has been able to manage its affairs through an Executive Committee that includes membership from the USA.

The executive that meets online every second Thursday of the month comprises: Wayne Williams – Chairman (SVG); Gary “Tunka” Edwards – Assistant Chairman (USA); Simone Charles – General Secretary (USA); Elsworth Richards – Public Relations Officer (SVG); Noel Browne – Treasurer (SVG); Gillian Martin – Assistant Treasurer (USA); Albena Jack Samuel (SVG), Donna Findlay (USA), Shyroon Mitchel (USA) and Earl Daniel (Canada) – Committee Members.  (Source: Wayne Williams)
