He said the anniversary reaffirmed Mawuli’s reputation as a beacon of academic and moral excellence in the Volta Region and across Ghana.
The school’s anniversary logo is an elegant blend of green and yellow intertwined with the iconic torch of enlightenment featured prominently on banners, canopies, and backdrops, symbolising the light of knowledge that has guided generations of Haviwo (old students).
The aesthetic harmony of the setup, from the stage design to the traditional drapery, reflected the school’s values of creativity, order, and progress.
Earlier in the day, dignitaries broke ground for the construction of a 650-capacity dormitory for male and female students, an infrastructural addition aimed at easing accommodation pressure and improving learning conditions.
Mr Gunu commended the school’s leadership for sustaining excellence over the decades, noting that “for 75 years, Mawuli has produced citizens of integrity, intellect, and impact. The school’s legacy is one of empowerment, nurturing minds and building character.”
Announcing government support, the Minister for Education, Hon Haruna Iddrisu, on behalf of the Vice President, revealed a GHS 300 million investment package to improve infrastructure in selected Category A, B, and C schools, with Mawuli School among the beneficiaries.
The Vice President also made a personal donation of GHS 50,000 to support the school’s development initiatives.
He further disclosed plans to establish a School of Pharmacology and Biomedical Engineering in Keta, a new university in Jasikan, and a Centre of Excellence Special School in Ho, all part of efforts to expand access to quality education in the Volta Region.
The anniversary, which fused music, culture, and art, left a lasting impression of unity and renewal. The emblems, décor, and performances collectively embodied the spirit of Mawuli, 75 years of nurturing the head, the heart, and the hand for service to God and country.
