The Virgin Islands Department of Education is pleased to announce that four of our public high school girls’ basketball teams: Charlotte Amalie High School, Ivanna Eudora Kean High School, St. Croix Educational Complex, and St. Croix Central High School are set to compete in an exciting tournament against the Puerto Rico High Schools Girls League in Ponce, Puerto Rico.

Taking place from February 21st to 24th at the Vocational High School Gym, this tournament is more than just a competition, it's an opportunity for our student athletes to showcase their talent, athleticism, and determination on a broader stage. The event will provide them with a memorable experience, allowing them to not only sharpen their skills but also engage in cultural exchange and camaraderie, proudly representing the U.S. Virgin Islands in an atmosphere of sportsmanship and unity.

"This tournament is an extraordinary opportunity for our student-athletes to challenge themselves against top-tier teams while celebrating their passion for the game. We are incredibly proud of these young women, their dedication, and the pride they bring to the Virgin Islands as they compete," said VIDE Commissioner Dionne Wells-Hedrington.

The Virgin Islands Department of Education extends a huge thank you to all the coaches for their tireless efforts in preparing our teams, as well as to the administrators, parents, community supporters, and sponsors who continue to uplift and encourage these talented student athletes.

We wish all our teams the best of luck as they step onto the court and demonstrate their hard work, teamwork, and commitment to excellence. For more updates, follow the Virgin Islands Department of Education on social media and stay tuned for results from this exciting tournament. Let’s go, USVI!
