The 1994 graduating class of Suhum Secondary Senior High Technical School (SUTESCO) has presented a 3D signage and LED screen to their alma mater in the Eastern Region.
The group unveiled the signage as part of their 30th-anniversary celebrations, marking three decades since completing their O’Level education.
President of the ’94-year group, David Nyarko, expressed that, “It is a pleasure for us to come together to support the school that nurtured us, and we are extremely glad to do so.”
The donation is intended to improve campus navigation and enhance both teaching and learning experiences, thereby strengthening the school’s identity and stability.
Mr. Nyarko stated that the signage would promote the school’s brand identity and serve as a directional aid and communication tool. It will also, he said, would help students and passersby locate the school more easily.
The 1994 O’Level alumni group as part of the celebration, also organized a five-hour cleanup exercise, donated 50 crates of eggs, held a symposium, and provided meals for the students.
The 94-alumni and students cleared gutters, swept the campus, and weeded overgrown areas to maintain a clean environment.
During the unveiling, Secretary of the alumni 94 alumni, Osei Kofi Kennedy, acknowledged the school’s impact on them and emphasized that it was time to give back to their alma mater.
He encouraged all other year groups to come together to collaborate and chart a developmental path for SUTESCO.
The Headmistress of Suhum Secondary Senior High Technical School, Mrs. Elizabeth Ama Agyakwa, speaking with Ahotor FM, emphasized the significance of the new 3D signage and expressed her gratitude to the 1994- year group for responding to the school’s need.
“Our school lacked proper signage, and this contribution from our alumni is both timely and essential,” she noted.
Mrs. Agyakwa further appealed to the government, corporate entities, and all alumni to support the school in addressing pressing challenges, particularly the need for additional furniture and the rehabilitation of the science laboratory.
She highlighted that, a well-equipped environment is crucial for effective teaching and learning.
This she said, is a contributory factor in fostering academic excellence.
“It is essential for alumni to unite and invest in the schools that shaped them. Through such support, we can uplift our institutions and set students on the path to academic success,” she urged, adding that, the furniture shortage has not only impacted teacher morale but has also affected student enrollment.
The school, she noted, faces infrastructural deficiencies, with limited furniture and a deteriorating science laboratory, which are vital for creating a conducive learning environment.
She encouraged current students to draw inspiration from this gesture, recognizing that academic dedication will empower them to contribute positively to society.
Mrs. Agyakwa extended heartfelt congratulations to the ’94- year group, acknowledging their valuable contribution to the development of their alma mater.
