Our story
Rooted in Falmouth, growing worldwide
William Knibb Memorial High School carries the name of William Knibb, the Baptist missionary who stood with the people of Falmouth in the fight to end slavery in Jamaica. The school's motto, Ignorance Enslaves - Knowledge Liberates, keeps that conviction alive: education is freedom.
Generations of Knibbites have taken that lesson into the world. William Knibb Alumni International brings them back together as a non-profit network that helps today's students with financial aid and academic guidance.
- Run by alumni, for students
