BASSETERRE, St Kitts. St Paul's Primary School has been renamed the Connor-Gumbs Primary School in honour of two former headteachers.

The change was marked at a ceremony at the school on Wednesday, which ended with the unveiling of the new sign.

The school is now named after Ryscille Adina Connor, who served as principal from 1989 to 2006, and John E. Gumbs, who led the school from 2010 to 2020. Between them they gave 27 years of leadership.

Minister of Education Dr Geoffrey Hanley said both had made a lasting impact on the school and the wider St Paul's community.

"The best educators are usually fully immersed in their community," Dr Hanley said.

Past and present staff, students and parents attended the ceremony.
