This proud graduate of the Lott Carey Baptist Mission School in Brewerville, Liberia, provided important leadership to the Lott Carey girl’s kickball team in his junior and senior years. G. Sylvester Diggs graduated Valedictorian in 1972.

After graduating from LCM, Sylvester worked full time with the Ministry of Finance in the Revenue Department for 10 years. He later travelled to the United States to enter Dyke College in Cleveland, Ohio, where he earned his Bachelor of Arts Degree in accounting in three years.
