Adjaho to grace Accra academy homecoming

The Accra Academy annual homecoming, the biggest event on the Old Boys (Bleoo groups) calendar is slated for this Saturday August 24 at the school campus. The event commences at 10am.

According to a joint statement issued by Nii Maale-Adsei and Nunya Gadgbeku this year’s event is to be grace by the Rt. Hon. Doe Adjaho, Speaker of Parliament. Accra Academy was established on 20th July 1931 by 4 young guys all under the age of 30, G.N Alema 29, J.A Halm Addo 29, K.G Konuah 27, and S.N Awuletey 26.

It was started in a building donated by Madam Ellen Buckle in the slums of James Town purposely for brilliant but needy students who couldn’t afford the Mfanstipims, Achimotas, Adiseadels and the like. For record purposes these young gentlemen were the first to establish a secondary school as all the earlier schools where either established by the colonial government or missionaries.

The school has come a long way after 82 years has been able to produce a Head of State, back to back Speakers of Parliament, back to back Chief Justices, as well as host of ministers, doctors, engineers, ambassadors as well as entrepreneurs.

According to the organizers this year’s homecoming will be classy, trendy and reloaded.

The statement explained the annual homecoming is a platform for Bleoo Groups to reminiscence the past, network and promote their own and added that it is the biggest address book that all Bleoo boys must take advantage of.

Program lineup includes Bleoo Groups Roll Call, talks on healthy living and some games.

As a highlight of the event, there will be after party at Larry’s Place, bar & lounge off Mataheko first light road and opposite JT cluster of schools.

All Bleoo Groups must come and represent their Bleoo Group, support their professions whilst we contribute towards our alma mater, the statement concluded
