Stanley W. Nibbs

Stanley Nibbs BEM (7 June 1914 – 16 January 1985) was an instructor and preacher on the island of Tortola in the British Virgin Islands (BVI). His educational service to the islands was recognized with his awarding of the British Empire Medal in 1968, and, in 1993, by the issue of a postage stamp, making him one of the first black citizens to appear on a BVI stamp. He died on 16 January 1985.

For over 50 years, Nibbs was the sole woodworking teacher for the British Virgin Islands Secondary School.

In 1993 a stamp was made to honour his secondary educational service. This was one of the first instances of BVI stamps honouring its black citizens.

On 21 October 2014, it was announced the Virgin Islands School of Technical Studies (VISTS) would be naming a wing of their school after Stanley Nibbs for his over 50 years of scholarly service to the Virgin Islands.
