A MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER OF EDUCATION
To the Charlotte Amalie High School Class of 2021—you came and you conquered!
On behalf of the Virgin Islands Department of Education, I extend warmest congratulations to you
for achieving this very-important milestone in your academic career—your high school
graduation.
I cannot express how proud I am of you. Indeed, your talent and tenaciousness have given you the
courage to succeed, despite navigating a global pandemic in both your junior and senior years of
high school. I must commend you for your steadfastness—for rising to the occasion, being
disciplined, learning new technology, following safety protocols, and thriving through it all. We
always knew that you could do it.
I must acknowledge the hard work and dedication of your teachers and school administrators, who
have guided, nurtured, and helped shape you into the successful young adults you are today. Your
parents and families also deserve our deepest appreciation, for without their love and support your
achievements would not be possible.
Charlotte Amalie High School Class of 2021, you are well-equipped to engage whatever obstacles
you might face in your future. In you lie the spirit of your ancestors who fought for what is right
and changed our community, and the world, for the better.
Your high school graduation is only the beginning—go forth confidently into the world and make
yourself, your family and all of us proud. The entire Virgin Islands community is rooting for you.
Congratulations!
Sincerely,
Racquel Berry-Benjamin
Commissioner

VIRGIN ISLANDS MARCH
All hail the Virgin Islands. Em'ralds of the sea,
Where beaches bright with coral sand
And trade winds bless our native land.
All hail the Virgin Islands, Bathed in waters blue,
We give our loyalty, Full to thee,
And pledge allegiance forever true.
God bless our Virgin Islands, Humbly now we pray,
Where all mankind can join today
In friendly warmth of work and play.
God bless our Virgin Islands, Beautiful and tall
Beneath a sunny sky, Hilltops high
Hold out a welcome for one and all.

CAHS ALMA MATER
O great and noble high school, how much we owe to thee.
Our grateful hearts will always live wherever we may be.
So let us shout with all our might, and let our joyance never cease.
God grant that teachers, friends, and school may ever have
His peace.
We’ll not forget the lessons, our teachers taught each day.
We’ll make you proud of us, dear school, each pupil in his way.
We’ll strive to keep your standards high and fight with all our might.
To keep your light forever bright, by doing what is right.

Arthur Benjamin and Hugh Smith

19LIFT EVERY VOICE AND SING Lift every voice and sing, ‘Til earth and heaven ring, Ring with the harmonies of Liberty; Let our rejoicing rise. High as the list’ning skies; Let it resound loud as the rolling sea. Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us, Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us; Facing the rising sun of our new day begun, Let us march on till victory is won. Stony the road we trod, Bitter the chast’ning rod, Felt in the days when hope unborn had died; Yet with a steady beat, Have not our weary feet Come to the place for which our fathers sighed? We have come over a way that with tears has been watered, We have come, treading our path thro’ the blood of the slaughtered; Out from the gloomy past, ‘til now we stand at last, Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast. God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, Thou who has brought us thus far on the way; Thou who has by thy might, led us into the light, Keep us forever in the path, we pray, Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met thee; Lest our hearts drunk with the wine of the world we forget thee. Shadowed beneath thy hand, may we forever stand; True to our God, true to our native land.
