Four to be inducted into St George’s College Hall of Fame
FOUR of Jamaica’s internationally recognised standouts in the areas of advocacy, law, finance and diplomacy are to be inducted into the 2024 St George’s College Hall of Fame on August 31.
They are Christopher Berry, chairman of Mayberry Investments Limited; Michael Hylton, former solicitor general; Professor Trevor Munroe, founding director of National Integrity Action; and Christopher Chaplin, Jamaica’s honorary consul in Philadelphia and co-chairman of the Philadelphia Organising Committee of Team Jamaica Bickle. They are all past students of St George’s College.
In making the announcement, Donovan Chen See, chairman of the St George’s College Hall of Fame Selection Committee, said the four outstanding leaders have done their alma mater proud, both locally and globally.
He said the criteria for selection by the six-member committee included community spirit; excellence and achievement in a particular field; inspiring leadership; national and/or international recognition; vision and innovation; and service to the school.
“We feel proud of those selected for this year’s induction as they have been outstanding examples of the foundation which St George’s College has been laying over the past 174 years for the development of young men,” said Chen See.
The St George’s College Hall of Fame is the highest accolade by which Georgian old boys and faculty may be recognised. Established in 2000, there are now 56 inductees, portraits of whom are prominently displayed at the St George’s College Hall of Fame Room in the Archbishop Samuel E Carter, SJ Library at the North Street institution. The hall of fame is hosted every two years.
