Mfantsipim@150: Vice President Prof. Opoku-Agyemang urges stakeholders to sustain the school’s legacy

Vice President Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang says the future of Mfantsipim School depends on the collective commitment of teachers, school management, parents, alumni and, importantly, current students.

Speaking at the school's 150th anniversary celebration, she said sustaining its reputation and achievements would require all stakeholders to contribute actively to its development.

She particularly urged students to take their education seriously, noting that their commitment was essential to preserving the institution's legacy.

"Our school success depends on the commitment of the teachers, school leadership, parents, and old students and as well, very, very importantly on the seriousness with which current students approach their education," she said.

Professor Opoku-Agyemang said teachers and school authorities must continue providing quality education and guidance, while parents and alumni should support the institution's growth.

She added that current students also had a responsibility to uphold the school's standards by demonstrating discipline and dedication to their studies.

Founded in 1876, Mfantsipim is among Ghana's oldest secondary schools and has produced generations of professionals, academics, public servants and national leaders.

The 150th anniversary celebration brought together government officials, traditional and religious leaders, alumni, teachers, students and other stakeholders to reflect on the school's history and future.
