“When I look out at all of you, I do not simply see students sitting in neat rows. I see a younger version of myself.”
These were the words of Her Excellency Christine Carla Kangaloo, O.R.T.T., President of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, as she addressed students and staff of her alma mater, Grant Memorial Presbyterian School, on March 9, 2026, during its Founders Day celebrations, marking the school’s 155th anniversary.
As part of its annual anniversary observances, the school honours one past student who has excelled in their chosen field. This year, in recognition of her distinguished service to the nation, Her Excellency the President was inducted into the school’s Wall of Fame, marking a truly special moment at the very institution where she spent some of her most formative years.
After the induction ceremony, Their Excellencies engaged in a lively question-and-answer session with the Standard Five students, many of whom had burning questions stemming from Their Excellencies’ visit to the school in October 2025.
