The Old Achimotan Association (OAA) is set to commemorate the 50th, 40th, and 25th anniversaries of the 1975, 1985, and 2000 graduating classes with a weeklong celebration from March 5 to March 9.
As part of the festivities, the alumni groups are giving back to their alma mater through major legacy projects, including a GH₵1.5 million donation of science laboratory equipment and the construction of an 18-unit classroom block.
The OAA 75 and 85 Year Groups will officially hand over their GH₵1.5 million donation of state-of-the-art equipment to Achimota School’s science laboratories on March 5.
This initiative aims to enhance the quality of science education and better prepare students for tertiary studies.
Meanwhile, the OAA 2000 (2G) Year Group is spearheading the construction of an 18-unit classroom block, scheduled for completion in November 2025. This project seeks to expand the school’s infrastructure and accommodate its growing student population.
