Gentlemen,
As we proudly continue the Centenary Celebrations of Kingston College, let us pause to reflect on the vital role our global Kingston College Old Boys’ Associations (KCOBA) have played—and continue to play—in preserving, promoting, and advancing the Fortis legacy.
These chapters are far more than alumni gatherings. They are pillars of support, connection, and service, keeping the spirit of Kingston College alive in cities and communities around the world.
In this spirit, we pose a simple but important question:
How many of you currently living outside of Jamaica are registered members of a KCOBA chapter?
If you are not yet a member, I warmly encourage you to take this meaningful step toward reconnecting with our beloved alma mater. Becoming an active member is not just symbolic—it is a powerful way to invest in the future of Kingston College and make a lasting impact on the lives of current and future Fortis men.
Through your participation and support, you help sustain and expand vital initiatives such as:
- Scholarships for academically talented, financially challenged students
- Infrastructure improvements that enhance the school’s learning environment
- Educational and extracurricular programs that develop well-rounded, capable young men
Joining your local chapter also opens doors to networking, reconnecting with classmates, mentoring young Fortis men, and playing a vital role in the continued growth of our global Fortis community.
Please find below the registration links for our active international chapters:
We also have thriving chapters in New England and the Cayman Islands:
For New England, please contact Aston “Bishop” Archer at aIyahbish@hotmail.com
For the Cayman Islands, please contact Marlon Richards at KCOBACayman345@gmail.com
If you are located in or near these areas, we encourage you to reach out and get involved.
To our current members: thank you for your unwavering commitment and continued service. We also take this moment to gently remind you to pay your annual dues at the start of each calendar year. Your contributions support your chapter’s operations, events, scholarship programs, and outreach initiatives. Staying financially current ensures that our collective efforts remain impactful and sustainable.
Let us keep building on the proud foundation laid over the past one hundred years. Let us strengthen our global Fortis network. And let us continue to embody the Fortis spirit—bold, committed, and united—wherever in the world we may be.
Forever Fortis,
Board of Directors – KCOBA USA (NY) Inc.
