Ace Poyah of the St. Croix Educational Complex took the top prize in the Crucian Purple and Gold Foundation’s annual essay contest, followed by Khamar Lockhart of the same school as the second-place winner. A third notable finalist is Aden Rojas of St. Croix Central High School, recognized as a second-place honoree.
The contest asked: If you were elected governor of the United States Virgin Islands today, what would be your first four immediate priorities?
Foundation CEO Rick Mullgrav praised the finalists.
“It’s not only refreshing to see that our younger generation are so mentally invested and focused on what’s happening within our territory, but to read their views on resolutions is truly eye-opening,” Mullgrav said.
The Crucian Purple and Gold Foundation and the men of the Eta Iota Iota Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc. extend heartfelt congratulations to the winners and to all participants as they continue their education and leadership journeys.
