Wilbert "Will" Hall is a member of the Florida chapter of the Kingston College Old Boys Association.

According to Audley Hewett, Wilbert is a quiet and fantastic member of the chapter whose hard work and efforts on behalf of the chapter have not gone unnoticed. "He offers suggestions and is always looking out for opportunities that will benefit KC. In addition, Will does a lot of work behind the scenes, for example with the soccer program. We know we can always count on his support for any project."

Hall attended KC from 1984-1987 but completed high school in Miami Florida at North Miami Senior High.

He is currently the Division Chief of Communication for Miami Dade Fire Rescue and been in Fire Service for the past 17 years.

He has been a Registered Nurse for 22 years specializing in Pediatrics ICU and Emergency Medicine.

Hall is also an adjunct Professor at Miami Dade College teaching paramedics and nursing.

His work has included interesting assignments such as the Covid-19 branch Director, managing Covid-19 testing and vaccination for Miami Dade County, and as the Fire Chief Executive Officer during Surfside building collapse.

His memory of KC includes Mr. Watson, Art teacher, whom he saw at the Douglas Forrest building ribbon cutting ceremony. History teacher Mr. Bryant from whom he received several canings and English teacher Mr. Hayes. He considers it a great privilege to have been taught French by the late great Douglas Forrest.

KC won Pepsi under 13 football competition and Sunlight cricket under 19 in his first year at school. And he was thrilled to have been at the National stadium for the 1986 Manning cup championship.

Other great memories of KC were made at Pearl eating chicken, rice and peas and dumpling. And he cannot forget the sky juice guys, Trelly and George, and attending different KC event with classmates. Some of those classmates Tino Ventura and Christopher Francis are still close friends.
