The vibrant ceremony, themed “Empowering Minds, Shaping Futures: 75 Years of Girl Child Education in Truth and Virtue,” drew hundreds of old students, staff, current students, and distinguished guests to the school’s Korle-Gonno premises.
The premier girls’ institution has been a beacon of excellence, producing exceptional women who have made significant contributions nationally and internationally. This milestone marks the school’s unwavering commitment to fostering a culture of truth, virtue, and academic excellence.
Dr. Mary Anane-Mensah, an esteemed SMOGAN, chaired the event, while Ayesha Bedwei Ibe, Partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers, delivered the keynote address. The day’s highlight was the official handing over of a state-of-the-art library complex by SMOGANS to the school.
Distinguished guests, including Justice George A. Ampiah-Bonney, Rev. Rita Korankye-Ankrah, and representatives from the Ghana Education Service, attended the launch. The ceremony provided an opportunity for reflection, reconnection, and planning.
The year-long celebrations will include mentorship programs, educational seminars, health screenings, and outreach projects. These initiatives aim to inspire and support current students and the wider community.
