Accra Academy Old Boys Association (AAOBA) is proudly spearheading a significant project aimed at enhancing the teaching and learning environment at Accra Academy School. Our mission is to construct a state-of-the-art, four-storey staff accommodation block, valued at GH¢20.02 million, as part of our commitment to the school's growth and development.
This ambitious project, set to be completed over four years, is made possible through the dedicated efforts of our alumni, who have generously contributed both voluntary donations and actively participated in fundraising activities. At AAOBA, we understand the critical role staff accommodation plays in creating a conducive atmosphere for education.
With a current staff body of 202, including 137 teaching staff and 65 non-teaching staff members, we recognize the pressing need for adequate accommodation. The shortage of suitable housing for our dedicated educators has far-reaching implications. It impacts our ability to attract and retain experienced teachers, affects the punctuality and efficiency of non-resident staff, and poses challenges for effective supervision, particularly of our boarding students.
We are working closely with the school's board and management to tackle this issue head-on. Together with our esteemed alumni, we are committed to resolving this accommodation challenge to create an environment where both our staff and students can thrive.
We also take this opportunity to honor and appreciate our alumni members who have made remarkable contributions to Accra Academy School's development. Your support is instrumental in shaping the school's future, and we encourage all members to continue actively participating in our mission.
At Accra Academy School, we are dedicated to providing quality education and nurturing future leaders. With your continued support, we aim to create an even more conducive and inspiring learning environment for our students and educators alike.
Accra Academy is thrilled to announce the realization of a remarkable project that will forever transform our sporting landscape. Renowned Ghanaian football star, Asamoah Gyan, and the Accra Academy community have come together to unveil a state-of-the-art sports complex valued at thousands cedis.
This mega sports complex is a testament to the commitment and dedication of Asamoah Gyan, an esteemed alumnus of Accra Academy. The Black Stars skipper, deeply connected to his alma mater, embarked on this ambitious journey to enhance the school's sporting facilities. We are proud to see this vision become a reality.
The complex features an impressive AstroTurf playing pitch complete with a tartan track, modern dressing rooms, and floodlights. It is a significant step forward in promoting sports excellence within one of Ghana's oldest and most esteemed institutions.
The unveiling ceremony, held on July 18, 2017, was a momentous occasion, graced by distinguished personalities, including former President Jerry John Rawlings and the Minister of Youth and Sports, Isaac Kwame Asiamah. Both old and current students of Accra Academy, along with members of the music industry, added to the celebration.
Asamoah Gyan expressed his profound gratitude to the school and seized the opportunity to highlight the charitable initiatives undertaken by his foundation. His commitment to giving back to the community and supporting educational causes is truly inspiring.
Minister Isaac Asiamah commended Asamoah Gyan's patriotism and encouraged fellow footballers to follow in the footsteps of the Black Stars skipper. The project stands as a testament to the positive impact that athletes can have on society.
The commissioning of the pitch, now named the Asamoah Gyan Sports Centre, was marked with an exciting football match between Team Gyan and the Professional Footballers, culminating in a thrilling 1-1 draw. Asamoah Gyan has not only fulfilled his promise to the school but has also laid the foundation for a future of sporting excellence at Accra Academy. We extend our heartfelt appreciation to him and all those who made this vision a reality. Together, we stride into a future filled with sporting opportunities and achievements.
