A THIRTEEN-MEMBER reconstituted Board of Governors of the Kadjebi-Asato Senior High School (KASHS) to manage the affairs of the school for a three-year term, has been inaugurated at Kadjebi in the Volta Region.
The new board, which is yet to choose its chairperson, replaces the former one which has been in existence for the past six years.
Inaugurating the board, the Kadjebi District Chief Executive, Mr Seth Alifo charged the members to get in touch with the old boys and girls to contribute their quota to the rehabilitation of the school.
Mr Alifo expressed gratitude to the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) of the school which was assisting to accommodate the fresh intake of students this academic year.
The outgoing chairman of the board, Mr Anthony Gyambiby said during their tenure of office, the school moved from Grade ‘B’ to Grade B+.
He, therefore, commended the members for working hard with the school authorities towards the achievement of that status.
Mr Gyambiby expressed the hope that the new board would keep the flame burning to ensure that the school moved a step further to Grade ‘A’ in the near future.
He called on the Regional Minister to consider using part of the vast land given to the school for the establishment of satellite campus of the proposed Volta Regional University.
According to Mr Gyambiby, the 569 acres of land at the disposal of the school would be more profitably used if the suggestion was considered.
The headmaster of the school, Mr Thomas Fordjour-Ababio in a welcoming address, said the school was making good use of the land available to go into agriculture.
Mr Fordjour-Ababio said last year, the school cropped 20 acres of maize from which it harvested 100 maxi bags.
He said they also cultivated six acres of rice which were yet to be harvested, adding that the school could also boast of 19 pigs and 11 piglets.
The headmaster said apart from the 100 per cent pass the institution chalked in the 2009 West Africa Senior High School Certificate Eamination, 295 out of the 350 students presented for the examination, passed in six or more subjects.
He said in sports, the school had been taking the first position in all disciplines at zonal levels in the region.
