The Headmaster of the School Mr. Edwin Odame Amoah added that the government has done a lot to ensure all SHS students go to school for free under the Free Senior High School policy but parents and other stakeholders have a lot to offer to support the Free SHS policy to ensure effective development of the various schools.
He said the school is constructing a girls’ dormitory to augment the dormitory deficit in the school hence philanthropists, stakeholders, and government must come to their aid to help them finish it on time.
Finally, The Assistant Headmaster, of Academics for the School Mr. Kusi Marfo Joseph advised the students to listen to advice from their parents and teachers to help shape them for a better future.
