EHSM

Today, we proudly celebrate Mr. Jimmie Forde, Chief Executive Officer and one of the region’s most successful executives, who continues to acknowledge Emmanuel High School Mesopotamia as the “foundation of his being” and a major part of his success in the business arena.
Mr. Forde fondly reflects on his alma mater, especially his treasured memories of Mrs. Grace Eustace. To him, she was more than a teacher. She was a mentor, coach, counsellor, and guiding force who knew how to support students in every area of life.

Although he left EHSM with four CSEC subjects, his drive, motivation, and competitive spirit pushed him to achieve great success, including postgraduate studies at Harvard University. His journey reminds students that it is not where you start, but what you do with the opportunities given to you. He encourages today’s students not to discount EHSM in any way and reminds them that school life should be balanced, with equal attention given to academics, sports, clubs, and other activities that help build character, confidence, and leadership skills. He firmly believes that EHSM is one of the very best schools in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

As EHSM celebrates another anniversary, Mr. Forde proudly honours the lasting legacy of Dr. John P. Eustace and Mrs. Grace Eustace, whose vision and dedication significantly changed the lives of many students. He remains proud that his alma mater has produced some of the most outstanding citizens of St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

Ms. Sadieca J. George is a distinguished healthcare leader, a devoted believer in God, and a proud mother of three (one daughter and two sons). Her life stands as a testament to dedication, continuous learning, and purposeful service.

Sadieca’s professional journey began at Emmanuel High School Mesopotamia (EHSM), where she graduated with the Class of 1995. Driven by a passion for nursing, she progressively advanced through the ranks as a Registered Nursing Assistant, Registered Nurse, and Certified Midwife.

Committed to excellence, she earned a BSc in Nursing from the University of Technology, Jamaica, a Certificate in Leadership and Management from the University of Washington, and an MSc in Nursing Administration from the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill. Today, Ms. George serves as the Ward Manager at the Continuous Quality Improvement Department within the Milton Cato Memorial Hospital, where she works to elevate healthcare standards and mentor future medical professionals.

“It has been a true honor to attend such an esteemed institution. EHSM was not just a school; it was a solid foundation built on lasting friendships, vital life lessons, and true examples of mentorship.

I was blessed with exceptional teachers who helped shape the person I am today. I want to extend my sincere gratitude to Mr. Elliot Diamond, Brian Burke, Mrs. Eleen Hill, Allan Burnett, Chiefton Charles, Curtis Greaves, Rodrique Joseph, Allan Joseph, and the many others whose names escape me but whose impact remains. You made a valuable investment in my future, for which I am forever grateful.

I must also honor the memory of our late Principal, Miss Grace Eustace, and Deputy, Mr. Clarke. Though they have passed on, they remain central to the EHSM legacy. Thank you, EHSM, for being the bedrock of my journey.”
