Mr. Amponsah noted that the media is a powerful tool to promote excellence and development, however, he urged the media not to use their tool to destroy personalities and institutions but rather encourage and motivate people while holding them accountable and constructive criticism.
The Headmaster of the School, Dominic Acquah hinted that their secret for their academic excellence include seriousness, discipline and hard work from management, teachers as well as students. He also mentioned strong supervision and teachers’ motivation as some factors.
