The Presbyterian Boys’ Senior High School, Legon (PRESEC) is set to hold its 87th Speech and Prize Giving Day on Saturday, 29th November 2025, to honour the exceptional contributions of distinguished staff and students.
The ceremony will recognise honorees for their dedication and diligence, which have played a key role in the school’s longstanding success.
This year’s event, to be held at the school’s ceremonial grounds, is themed: “Celebrating Our Heritage: Shaping Future Leaders Through Discipline and Academic Excellence.”
The programme will attract several dignitaries, including former students, affectionately referred to as ‘Odadeɛ’. The Executive Chairman of Adonai Group, from the graduating class of 2000, will preside over the occasion, while the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Rt. Reverend Dr Abraham Nana Opare Kwakye will serve as the guest of honour.
The Minister for Foreign Affairs, also an alumnus of the school, will deliver the keynote address. The school’s board chair and renowned Ghanaian businessman, Dr Ernest Ofori Sarpong, will likewise be in attendance.
Guests are scheduled to be seated ahead of the programme, which begins at 9:30 a.m.
Event planners say this year’s celebrations will place a strong emphasis on engaging current students. A mentorship session will be held, and post-event interactions are also planned to ensure ongoing guidance and support for the students, making this edition of the Speech and Prize Giving Day unique.
As part of their 25th anniversary celebrations, the Ɔdadeɛ 2000 Year Group announced in May a major infrastructure initiative to renovate the school’s kitchen and introduce a sustainable green energy system aimed at improving student welfare and promoting environmental sustainability.
Speaking at the launch on Saturday, 17th May, group member Alain Gbeasor outlined the ambitious project, which will modernise the school’s kitchen facilities and integrate a biogas-powered energy system. The entire kitchen will be retooled and fitted with contemporary equipment, reflecting PRESEC’s commitment to innovation and progress.
In addition to the kitchen upgrades, the initiative includes constructing a modern facility for kitchen staff, complete with offices, resting areas, and changing rooms.
A notable aspect of the project is the biogas system, which will position PRESEC as one of the first schools in Ghana to operate a fully green kitchen.
Mr Gbeasor emphasised that the initiative aims to benefit current students while serving as a model for sustainable development and education infrastructure.
The Ɔdadeɛ Y2K project aligns with Ghana’s national clean cooking agenda, which seeks to achieve 50% LPG usage penetration by 2030. Currently, over 54.3% of Ghanaian households rely on solid biomass, primarily firewood (31.1%) and charcoal (23.2%), for cooking, contributing to indoor air pollution and environmental degradation.
The initiative is an indication of the vital role of alumni and the private sector in supporting national efforts to transition to cleaner energy solutions while enhancing educational facilities.
