The Awudome Senior High School (AWUSCO) has marked its 60th anniversary at Tsito in the Volta Region last week.
It was celebrated on the theme “60 years of quality education: benefits and relevance in contemporary times.”
The week-long celebration had activities such as a candlelight procession, inter-house competition, tree-planting, fashion night, health screening, football match, ‘borborbor’ night, talk on entrepreneurship and a fundraising dinner.
The grand durbar witnessed old students of the various year groups as well as continuing students and staff clad in the anniversary attire.
The Old Students Union of AWUSCO, OSUA also inaugurated an eight-bed capacity health centre for the school at the cost of GH¢1.6 million.
The Volta Regional Minister, Dr Archibald Yao Letsa, said the commitment of the old students to their alma mater had made AWUSCO one of the ‘sterling’ Senior High Schools (SHSs) in the region and the country at large.
He said the effort of the alumni was laudable, adding that the building of a health centre would benefit both students and indigenes of surrounding communities.
The National president of OSUA, Dr Leonard Amekudzi old students have brought on board their individual competencies which include skills, resources and time to serve their alma mater.
He mentioned that OSUA had embarked on a membership drive and currently have about 5,000 members across the country to gather resources to support several projects in the school.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
