Samal Mojah Duggins, a proud national of St. Kitts-Nevis, was born on November 13th, 1984 in the Island of St. Kitts to Michelle Duggins of Trafalgar Village and Samuel ‘Mojah’ Francis of Mc Knight.
Samal received his primary and secondary school education at the Dr. William Connor Primary School and the Verchilds High School, respectively. He excelled academically and secured a scholarship from the St. Kitts Bottling Company (SKBC) and later the distinction of being named valedictorian of the graduating class for both learning institutions. On its 50th Anniversary Samal was recognized by the SKBC as its ‘Most Outstanding Scholarship Student’ to date.
In 2004, Samal returned to his alma mater, the Verchilds High School, as a Math Teacher.

This program was later expanded to include the Bronte Welsh Primary School and the Verchilds High School.
