Mr Axorlu praised the communal self-help spirit of the people and e urged them to remain focused and assist the school to grow.

Mr. Michael Wiredu-Kusi, the acting Headmaster of the school, said a year of its establishment, the school had a student population of 138, comprising 90 boys and 48 girls.

Mr. Wiredu-Kusi expressed appreciation to the National Service Secretariat for posting 10 service personnel to support teaching and learning in the school.
