The 1976 Year group of the Presbyterian Boys’ Secondary School (PRESEC), Legon (Odadee 1976) has launched its 50th anniversary celebrations with a focus on celebrating the school’s heritage while supporting its future growth.
The event took place in Accra, where the group pledged to promote their Alma mater’s progress with projects in infrastructure, digital learning, mentorship, and legacy-building.
The launch was also used to reaffirm the Odadeeɛ 1976 Year Group’s commitment to legacy, unity, and service.
Launch
The President of the group, Samuel Nkum Tenkorang, who launched the celebrations, reminded his colleagues to keep upholding the values of discipline, humility, and excellence instilled by PRESEC.
He called on the group to give back to their alma mater and the society, framing the celebration as a testament to their resilience as a year group.
“This celebration is not vanity, but memory made visible. It is a testament to resilience, humility, and the light that continues to guide us,” he said.
Activities
During the ceremony, the Year Group outlined a number of projects to celebrate its golden jubilee throughout the year.
These include refurbishing the school gate, which the group originally built during its 40th anniversary and supporting the Global Executive’s flagship e-library project to promote digital learning.
The group also seeks to strengthen mentorship activities to guide current students and also facilitate the PRESEC Book Project, which will contribute to the upcoming PRESEC @90 anniversary in 2028.
The group will also embark on a heritage trip to Odumase-Krobo in the Eastern Region, to allow members reflect on the school’s history.
For his part, the headmaster of the school, David Odjidja, who graced the occasion, acknowledged the support of the Odadeɛ 1976 Year Group and the global fraternity over the years.
He also highlighted pressing challenges facing PRESEC’s over 6,000 student population currently.
These included accommodation shortages in classrooms, dormitories, and dining halls, as well as the urgent need for smart classrooms and projectors to match modern teaching trends.
He said that while the government had supplied tablets to students, the absence of projectors in 80 classrooms remained critical.
Mr Odjidja added that staff accommodation was an urgent need, especially with second-cycle institutions scheduled to phase out of the double-track system by 2027.
