St George’s College inducts four distinguished alumni into 2026 Hall of Fame
KINGSTON, Jamaica — Donovan Chen See, Ian Wong, Dr Francis Barnett, and Frank “Frankie” Lewis have been inducted into St George’s College 2026 Hall of Fame.
The induction ceremony was held on November 1 at the Terra Nova Hotel in St Andrew, celebrating the accomplishments of the four alumni across several fields, including sports, medicine, business and philanthropy.
Chen See was recognised for his leadership and commitment to driving positive change within his alma mater and Jamaica, guided by a dedication to serving those in need.
Dr Barnett was celebrated for his accomplishments as an athlete, scholar, physician and mentor, whose contributions have extended beyond Jamaica’s borders.
Wong was honoured for his decades of service through entrepreneurship, leadership and philanthropy, particularly his efforts to strengthen St George’s College and create opportunities for others.
Lewis, meanwhile, was recognised for his achievements in athletics and leadership, as well as a life characterised by excellence, integrity and perseverance.
Also recognised for excellence in sports with plaques in the inaugural Special Recognition Awards segment were past students Eric Barrett Jr, Neville “Bertis” Bell, the 1996 Sunlight Cup Champions and the 1984 Triple Crown Champions.
A posthumous special recognition award for gallantry was named for Norman Vaughn Goodison, who made the ultimate sacrifice to save a drowning student of Kingston College.
Responding on behalf of the awardees, Lewis said: “I want to thank St George’s College, the Hall of Fame Selection Committee, and everyone who made this occasion possible.”
“To be honoured by the school that helped shape our lives is something very special. And I am proud to share this recognition with three other distinguished Georgians.
“St George’s College gave me much more than an education. It taught me discipline, teamwork, perseverance, and the importance of giving my very best. And those lessons stayed with me throughout my life,” he continued.
In addressing the current student body, Lewis said, “Your greatest achievement will not simply be what you accomplish in life, but the kind of person you become and the difference you make in the lives of others.”
Speaking to the success of the staging of the 2026 Hall of Fame ceremony, Wayne Wray, chairman of the Selection Committee, said: “The introduction of the Hall of Fame 26 years ago has provided an opportunity for the ‘old boys’ to be engaged and inspired to support the current students, while focusing on the present and future needs of the college.”
Regarding the inclusion of a Special Recognition Awards segment this year, Wray said: “At St George’s College there were many others who had an impact on our lives. They impressed us, they represented us and they went to school with us. And they really had a lasting impact on our lives and contributed to who we are today. So we believe we should recognise a few of those ‘villagers’ or classmates.”
