Old students of Peki SHS break ground to give 70-year-old school infrastructure a facelift
One of the oldest secondary schools in the country is the Peki Secondary School in the South Dayi District of the Volta Region.
Peki Secondary School, one of Ghana's oldest secondary schools, is undergoing a facelift to modernize its infrastructure. Established in 1957 during the country's independence, the institution has educated numerous individuals who now contribute to national development. However, like many schools, it faces challenges in maintaining facilities that reflect its significance.
A group of alumni from the 2003 and 2011 year levels is spearheading the transformation effort. Under the leadership of Accra-based businessman and CEO of Davida Roofing, Mr. David Aziago, the alumni initiated the groundbreaking ceremony on October 9, 2022. Collaborating with the Old Students Association, the project aims to construct a contemporary school entrance as the first phase.
Speaking to media after the event, Mr. Aziago, who serves as the National President of the Old Students Association, emphasized the school's pivotal role in shaping their lives. He stated, "This school made us who we are today, so it is all about giving back to her." The visionary plans extend beyond the entrance, envisioning a comprehensive security measure with a fence wall encircling the entire institution to safeguard the school's environment.
