EHSM

Fondly known by many as “the mathematician,” Mr. Marcus Caine has dedicated his life to education, mentorship, and the advancement of mathematics, assisting hundreds of students and professionals throughout his distinguished career.

Reflecting on his journey, Mr. Caine recalls a time when many students viewed primary school as the final stage of their education. He, too, accepted that reality until he successfully passed the EHSM Entrance Examination and earned a scholarship—an opportunity that changed the course of his life.

He remains deeply grateful to Dr. J. P. Eustace, whose vision created educational opportunities for young people from rural communities, and to Mrs. Grace Eustace, who ignited his passion for mathematics. Under her guidance, he transformed from a student who once scored 18% in mathematics into an accomplished mathematician, educator, and mentor.

Mr. Caine holds a BSc in Mathematics and Physics and an MSc in Mathematics and Statistics. His distinguished career includes serving as Instructor of Biostatistics at Trinity Medical School, Former Chief Examiner for CXC, Former Interim Director of SVGCC, Former Assessment Director in the Ministry of Education, Pioneer Dean of the Community College, and currently Chairman of the EHSM Board of Directors.

As EHSM celebrates 63 years of educational excellence, we proudly salute Mr. Caine for his outstanding achievements, lifelong service to education, and the countless lives he has impacted through the power of learning.

For Roy Lewis, Emmanuel High School Mesopotamia was more than a school—it was a second chance.

After failing the School Leaving Examination, Roy found himself discouraged and uncertain about his future. Through the intervention of his father and the generosity of Dr. J. P. Eustace, he was given an opportunity to attend the newly established Emmanuel High School in 1963 as part of its inaugural class.

That opportunity changed the trajectory of his life. Roy went on to become a pharmacist and remains deeply grateful to Dr. J. P. Eustace for taking a chance on him when others may not have. He credits that opportunity with opening doors that shaped his future and placed him on a path to success.

Reflecting on his years at EHSM, Roy recalls the dedicated teachers who helped shape his life, particularly Mr. R. Theodore L. V. Browne and Miss Grace Eustace. Mr. Browne became a mentor and friend, spending countless hours encouraging him to read, write, and pursue excellence.

He credits Mr. Browne with strengthening his confidence, expanding his vocabulary, introducing him to books and the library, and inspiring a lifelong love of learning. Miss Grace Eustace also played a pivotal role, patiently helping him improve his mathematics skills and introducing him to volleyball, a sport in which he later excelled.

Roy also remembers Dr. J. P. Eustace not only as an educator and visionary but as a spiritual leader whose influence extended beyond the classroom. Through his guidance, Roy embraced the Christian faith and experienced the personal care and encouragement that defined the EHSM family.

Today, Roy Lewis remains grateful for the opportunity he was given and for the teachers who saw potential in him when he could not yet see it in himself. His story is a testament to the transformative power of education, mentorship, and believing in the potential of every child.

Mr. R. Theodore L.V. Browne, Barrister-at-Law, and Mrs. Grace Eustace were the only teachers entrusted with the inaugural class of Emmanuel High School Mesopotamia in 1963. Together, they laid the educational foundation upon which the school continues to build today, shaping generations of students through their dedication, vision, and commitment to excellence.

A past student and former teacher of Emmanuel High School, Kingstown - now known as J.P. Eustace Memorial Secondary School. Mr. Browne is remembered for his high standards and devotion to his students. Former student Roy Lewis recalls one of his guiding principles: “Never shallow, always thorough.”

Mr. Browne remains a strong advocate for preserving the legacy of Dr. J. P. Eustace, to whom he attributes the creation of educational opportunities for young people and communities at a time when such opportunities were limited. Their collective contributions helped establish the culture of excellence that continues to define EHSM today. -mention
