PRESS RELEASE
The Legacy of Dominica’s St. Andrew’s High School is to be preserved with the Grand Reunion 2025. Past St. Andrew’s High School students have formed an organization to stage a Grand Reunion from July 6 – 12, 2025 in the Commonwealth of Dominica.
Since the doors of the school closed in 2006, several efforts have been made to convene a past students’ reunion. However, “this hurdle has been crossed and the Grand St. Andrew’s Reunion is on” according to the Executive Chair of the St. Andrew’s Reunion Committee, Mr.
Wilworth “Riggly” Robin.
St. Andrew’s High School began operations in the Londonderry area in 1979. The school was born out of a necessity; to provide education to students from the North, and North-East of Dominica, who found it difficult to access secondary schooling in the established institutions due to the lower capacity in the aftermath of Hurricane David.
The Methodist Church, a special collaborating partner and the honored Institution of the 2025 Grand Reunion responded to the needs and demands of the people—the establishment of St. Andrew’s created opportunities not just for learning, but for wider community development.
Between 1979 and 2006, St. Andrew’s served as a link between the future and the past, dreams, and realities. The school also served as a base of spiritual belief, faith, and progress. Past students, former staff members, teachers, the Methodist Church, affiliates, and well-wishers are expected to participate in the Grand Reunion 2025 which will feature several events. Firstly, a Grand Pre-launch is staged for Sunday, July 7, 2024, at 6 PM. This event will be carried on ZOOM/FACEBOOK Live and is expected to sensitize members of the immediate St. Andrew’s family ahead of the Public Media Launch.
In the meantime, the reunion committee is appealing to the alumni of St. Andrew’s High to register their interest in attending the Grand Reunion 2025 which is being held under the theme: Our Foundation Our Legacy, by following the St. Andrew’s High School, Dominica FACEBOOK page for details on the links to ZOOM and the Google Form for registration.
