The NEDACS Cultural Complex is ready to house the 2026 Republic Bank Mr. and Ms. Talented Youth Pageant.

The event is scheduled to be held this Sunday (July 26^th) and is expected to begin promptly at 7:00 p.m.

A total of five (5) schools will be vying for this year’s crown.  They are:

The Violet O. J. Nicholls Primary represented by Linzy Brown and Zander Nisbett, St. Thomas’ Primary – Myesha Jeffers and Tyquon Connor, Charlestown Primary – Porsha Perkin and Keznambi Archibald, Ivor Walters Primary – Levandre Hanley and Kamorli Warner and Elizabeth Pemberton Primary – Adannaya Ayo-Modie and K’Shard Burton.

The Elizabeth Pemberton Primary won last year’s competition with ambassadors Ta-Naeja Wilkin and Micah Prince.

 Will the Elizabeth Pemberton Primary repeat its winning streak for 2026, or will there be a crowning of another school? We will just have to wait and see. The general public is invited to rally around a school of your choice along with encouraging all participants in this year’s competition.
