Basseterre, St. Kitts, Wednesday, February 25, 2026: Staff and Students at the Deane-Glasford Primary School proudly recognized outstanding men in the community as part of their Black History Month celebration. The initiative formed part of the school’s efforts to highlight positive male role models and celebrate the invaluable contributions of men to national and community development.
Princess Nyoka Adams, Principal, Deane-Glasford Primary School, delivered heartfelt remarks as the institution recognized outstanding male role models within the community.
“Today, we shine a light on men who represent courage, faith, entrepreneurship, discipline, and dedication. This morning, we proudly honour our awardees. Gentlemen, today we celebrate you. We thank you for the example you have set, for the doors you have opened, and for the standard of excellence you continue to uphold in St. Peter’s and beyond. Our students are watching, they are learning, and because of you, they can see what is possible.”
Mr. Theodore Phipps, recognized for his achievements in aviation, expressed deep appreciation for being acknowledged for his community and national contributions.
“Most of the time, the men in our society make valuable contributions to our society and the nation, and we do it out of genuine love for our country, and most of the time, this goes unnoticed. I feel very honoured that the Deane-Glasford Primary School has taken the time to honour the men in this society who have made valuable contributions.”
The celebration served as a powerful reminder of the importance of community involvement in education and the role of positive male leadership in shaping the next generation.
