The Eastern Regional Director of Education, Ms Getrude Mensah, who inaugurated the project, commended the school management for the initiative.
She expressed appreciation to the former board members for their selfless and dedicated service and urged the new members to also put in their best but entreated them not to interfere in the administrative work of the headmaster.
For his part, the Headmaster of the school, Rev. Munyuhitum, enumerated a number of projects that both the outgoing headmaster and the former board members did which, he said, had enhanced the image of the school, adding, “We hope and believe that your sterling achievements have become the shoulders where the new board members will stand to see the future of great ASASCO”.
The West Akim Municipal Chief Executive, Mr George Mensah Akpalu, who is an old boy, cautioned the new board members against playing the role of auditors and rather assist the headmaster and the management to run the school effectively.
Appeal
A first-year student of the school, Ms Etornam Ahlijah,appealed to the government to facilitate the early completion of projects in the school such as dormitories.
