Josette John and Le-Anne Angol of Tete Morne, on Friday, both graduated summa cum laude from the University of the Virgin Islands (UVI) with a BSc in Mathematics and BBA in Accounting respectively. They both made it to the Dean’s List each semester while at UVI as well as receiving outstanding awards in their respective major.
There is a saying that “show me your friends and I will tell you who you are.” These two have been friends from the Pierre Charles Secondary School. They both attribute their success firstly to JEHOVAH GOD and then to the support of family, friends and everyone who invested in them in many ways. They both hold true to the Bible verse Matthew 6:33-seek God first and the necessary things will be added unto the seeker (paraphrase). So, it was no surprise that they first attended Bible college where Josette graduated summa cum laude and Le-Anne magna cum laude.
Academic excellence has never been far from Miss John. From the Tete Morne Primary School she attended the Pierre Charles Secondary School, where she graduated as the valedictorian of her class.
At UVI, both Miss Angol and Miss John were active in and out of the classroom. Miss Angol was the main person behind the revamping of the Dominica Student Association at UVI and led the club to being nominated for club of the year. She was also an executive member of the Golden Key Honors Society as well as the National Association of Black Accountants and a Thurgood Marshall Scholar. She also completed an internship in Washington D.C.
Miss John was an executive member of the Golden Key Honours Society, Dominica Student Association, Mathematics peer leader and represented UVI at national research conferences in oral/poster presentation in the United States and completed an internship in Washington D.C
These two young and brilliant ladies faced many personal challenges in pursuit of their academic goals but their achievement come as no major surprise.
Le-Anne plans to pursue a career as a Forensic Accountant and Josette a Biostatistician.
We wish them nothing but the best in their endeavours.
Congratulations ladies. All the best
Congratulation to LeAnne Angol and Miss John. Go and conquer the world. We miss you at UVI next semester.
Congratulations s to a couple of outstanding ladies. You’re a pretty face and an Einstein brain! So proud we share the same villages of Montin/TeteMorne. Move on to higher heights!!!
Well done ladies. Keep on keeping on.
Congratulatulions to the both young ladies … So many Dominicans graduating top of their classes… am so proud to be a Dominican
Congratulations to the young ladies. Their performances just vindicated me (about my statement I posted last week ), on the young lady from Marigot performance, regarding the Standard and Level of US university Education.
By the way, the USVI education level is same as that of the US mainland because it is a US island.
I really need to see Dominican students’ academic prowess from UWI, UK, Europeans and Canadians university.
Can our students not perform / excel because of the rigorous programs at these universities? Just asking.
Hi Trump….,
just a few examples:

So where did you say you showed your academic prowess? Just asking.
Thanks Jay greatly appreciated your effort. Can you give me examples from UK, EU & Canadian schools? Thanks in anticipation of a ‘far better’ effort.
Hi Trump,
I see that you failed to at least outline where you showed your academic prowess though. Do share your story, perhaps you can inspire someone else with how you excelled in one or even all of the education systems in the world.
Furthermore, you are the one most interested in the examples, maybe you can at least do your own search? It does not require much brain work or a high IQ. Just open the tab next to the DNO website and google away. Don’t you think?
I prefer just congratulating any Dominican who succeeds whether they are in UK, Canadian, or Timbuktu schools rather than all the negativity disguised as questions.
On this note, I am off to making sure I succeed in the European university that I am in.
Thanks for informing Trump that you are studying at an EU University.
We (all Dominicans) are awaiting to congratulate you on your success at the EU. University. Good luck to you.
Trump for president you are so right. I studied in the UK and also in the US, I graduated top of my class in the US and STRUGGLED to pass in the UK.
I wonder if Jay studied in both the UK & USA, Just asking. I would like her response.
Goodness, gratious!!!! Congatulations to both young ladies on your accomplishments. Keep up the good work
Wow amazing, great job ladies, beat of Luck. Please encourage and challenge another young Dominican in St Thomas to do the same.
Congratulations to my Tete Morne girls. You make us proud
Let us lift them up in them up in the light of goodness and hold them there!! Great job ladies.
Congratulations to you all. Keep up the fantastic work and continue to excel and make a difference for humanity.
DNO please keep a database of all these individuals and their expertise. We can map out the geographic location and diverse expertise of Dominicans abroad. When the country needs consultants we know where to advertise. even if they are based abroad, We can utilize our very own when the need arises for expert consultants. .
Great news! I want to highly commend both ladies for their outstanding academic performance and their engagement in extra curricular activities. May your success be a beaming light for other young, impressionable minds to follow. Best of luck in all your future endeavors. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
