At 38 years old, Georges Fils Brignol completed his secondary education at Saint-Louis de Gonzague. His schoolmates recall his student years as they do his academic ones. "I remember a shy, respectful boy who rarely spoke up. He was intelligent, diligent, and always ready to help others," reminisces one of his classmates, who admitted he never imagined Brignol entering politics, let alone becoming Minister of Public Health and Population. "There’s a typical profile for a minister. When I learned he was pursuing medicine, I pictured him more as a clinician," his classmate added.

After finishing secondary school, Brignol attended the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy at the State University of Haiti, graduating in 2014. "He was a focused student, not at the top of the class, never on the committee, and not involved in organizing activities. However, he was a keen observer, a wise man who could help you out of a situation if you approached him," an alumnus from his year noted.
