63 Students Graduate from Montserrat Secondary, Vashirn Roache is Top Student

Montserrat Secondary School held the graduation ceremony for 63 students last Wednesday, July 6 at the Montserrat Cultural Centre.

During a lengthy ceremony, graduands were encouraged by the Featured Speaker and MSS Alumni Dr. Tiffannie Skerritt to pursue their dreams even if it means leaving the island.

The physician, who returned to island earlier this year, said the Class of 2022 has inherited the resilience of the Emerald Isle although being born almost 10 years after the volcanic crisis began.

“Your journey is your own. It does not belong to mommy and daddy, or your cousins and friends. What you do next does not have to match anyone else’s,” Dr. Skerritt told them.

The evening included a welcome address from President of the Student Council Jaena Golden, who shared highlights of the council’s work over the past year.

Principal Toney Allen gave a lengthy report of the past year and its challenges operating with lockdowns.

There was entertainment from Azaar Mitchell, a Fifth form dance group and the MSS orchestra.

Top Student Vashirn Roache encouraged his classmates to respect others, be humble and have a mind of their own. He copped awards for Mathematics, Spanish, Physics, Chemistry, Business, Accounts, and Sports. He also received the Premier’s Award for Highest Average and Bank of Montserrat’s Valedictorian Award.

Waynette Fenton, Vice President of the Student Council gave the vote of thanks.
