Accra Academy is hosting a major celebration for its 95th anniversary on Saturday, November 14, at the Ridge Church Main Auditorium in Accra. According to MyJoyOnline, the dinner and awards ceremony begins at 7:00 p.m. The gathering, themed "A Legacy of Pride, Purpose, and Achievements," will unite former students, board members, and corporate partners. The occasion marks a significant milestone in the school's history while setting the stage for future development.
A primary objective of the evening is to secure funding for two key infrastructure projects: building residential flats for staff and renovating the K.G. Konuah Assembly Hall. The institution states that these initiatives are designed to enhance living conditions for educators on campus. These improvements align with long-term plans to modernize facilities ahead of the school's centenary in 2031. Organizers are urging alumni and corporate sponsors to contribute to this fundraising effort.
The ceremony will present the Founders’ Awards to 40 individuals and groups. Originally launched during the 70th anniversary to honor distinguished alumni, the awards now recognize broader contributions to the academy. Thirty-seven recipients will be honored across Silver, Gold, and Platinum tiers, with three additional special awards. One notable recipient is the Bleoo '93 group, which rebuilt the Alema Hall of Residence following a fire six years ago. The awards celebrate academic success, service, and community support.
Air Vice Marshal Joshua Lartei Mensah-Larkai, Chief of Staff at Burma Camp, will chair the event. His Royal Majesty King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, the Ga Mantse, attends as the guest of honor. Legal expert Bethel Agyeman Donkor, who specializes in aviation and commercial law, will deliver the keynote speech. His address, titled "From Pride to Purpose: Safeguarding Accra Academy's Legacy and Shaping Its Future," will focus on protecting the school's heritage. The event serves as both a reflection on past achievements and a push for future growth.
