Virtual Reunion 2021
Our Virtual Reunion 2021 was a celebration of our classes of the ’60s thru the ’90s and our admittance to Grenada Boys Secondary School.
As part of our grand reunion, the GBSS Admin Team presented a Virtual Religious Service & Cultural Presentation that showcased a splendid performance of professionalism. Our opening salvo was indicative of what’s to come. We intend to be a global force for influencing new channels to better educational opportunities. Thus, positive social change to our homeland by empowering citizens to improve their socio economic position!
Invest in Yourself by Giving To Others
Giving to others implies investing in ourselves. It feels immensely pleasurable to pay it forward and help other members of the GBSS community to unlock their potential. Raising funds is a valuable human need. It gives a sense of belonging and accomplishing something bigger than ourselves. More importantly, many unforeseen/unintended stumbling blocks such as lack of morale, inefficient public sector services, (law enforcement, management and delivery of education, health personnel and resources) may be addressed.
Financial Aid to Support GBSS Students’ Life
Your financial contributions and donations will provide the necessary equipment for the school’s library, games department and laboratory at our alma mater. This assistance is critical for paving the path to career sustainability and excellence. A research, policy, and advocacy stance may be explored concerning topics such as social policy, educational impact strategy, technology (integrating an information society), and culture. Such organizations may be funded through personal charitable donations and government grants.
Our Notable Alumni
Our alumni play a key role representing successful role models at our alma mater. We have exclusive access to a robust national and international network of alumni who are eager and willing to meet the GBSS community and share their wisdom and advice about practicality and career beyond GBSS.

In 1990, I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from a Denver, Colorado university and returned to Grenada in 1992 where I taught physics at the National College that school year. I returned to Colorado in 1992 and worked for 8 years at Tava Technologies as Controls System and Instrumentation Engineer. I joined Samuel Engineering in 2001 and worked as Head of Instrumentation and Controls and presently as a Senior Project Manager on metals and minerals and oil & gas/energy projects.
