Celebrating 100 Years of Excellence

Léonce Mégie School ( F.I.C.) in La Vallée de Jacmel, Haiti, is preparing to celebrate its 100th anniversary—a milestone that honors a century of dedication to education, community, and growth. Founded in 1926, the school has been a cornerstone for generations, shaping the lives of students who have gone on to become leaders in nearly every sphere of Haitian society. This centennial is not just a celebration of the past, but a commitment to building a brighter future for the Valléenne community.

As we mark this historic occasion, we pay tribute to the visionaries who made it possible, including Reverend Father Bonneau and former Deputy Léonce Mégie. Their leadership and devotion laid the foundation for an institution that has grown from offering primary instruction to providing both general education and vocational training. Today, the school stands as one of the best-known centers of learning in the region, recognized for its triple focus on instruction, education, and evangelization.

With your support, we aim to modernize Léonce Mégie School and ensure it continues to offer high-quality services for generations to come. Our centennial project will create new opportunities for students, from a modern library and multimedia room to improved classrooms and expanded facilities. Every contribution helps us provide the tools, spaces, and inspiration our students need to thrive. Join us in shaping the next century of excellence for our school and our community.
