Mrs J – Cynthia Aaron Joseph of Portsmouth Secondary School has to be the coach with most victories/championships in Dominica’s history regardless of what sport. I challenge anyone to provide any evidence that contradicts this. We must recognize her gifting to motivate, train, teach, and inspire young people to achieve remarkable accomplishments in collaboration with a team. She is the best. Love you Mrs J – for me sometimes I still refert to you as Miss Aaron.
