SASS Celebrates Distinguished Sons and Daughters of East Gonja for Their Transformational Support
The Management of Salaga Senior High School (SASS), the Board of Governors, PTA Executives, Staff, Salaga Senior High School Old Students Association (SSOSA), Students, and the entire SASS community proudly celebrate and express profound appreciation to distinguished sons and daughters of the East Gonja Municipality for their remarkable contributions towards the growth and development of the school. Through their generosity, commitment, and sense of responsibility, these illustrious personalities have demonstrated that the development of education remains a shared responsibility. The SASS community is deeply grateful to Dr. Calistus Mahama, Executive Secretary to the President of the Republic of Ghana; Hon. Joyce Bawa Moqtar, Esq., Special Aide to the President of the Republic of Ghana; Hon. Hajia Zuwera Ibrahim Mohammed, Member of Parliament for the Salaga South Constituency; Hon. Rabiu Yazid Kassim, Municipal Chief Executive for East Gonja; and Dr. Alhaji Tanko Surazu, Chief Director, ministry of Land and Naturalresources, for their invaluable support and commitment to the advancement of our school.
Dr. Calistus Mahama, Executive Secretary to the President of the Republic of Ghana, has pledged to upgrade the existing library of Salaga Senior High School into an ultra-modern Smart Library Facility, an intervention that promises to significantly enhance teaching, learning, research, and access to modern educational resources. We are delighted to announce that the facility has officially been handed over to the contractor, with work expected to commence soon. This visionary project, when completed, will provide students and teachers with a modern and technologically equipped environment that will support academic excellence and prepare students for the demands of the twenty-first century.
Hon. Joyce Bawa Moqtar, Esq., Special Aide to the President of the Republic of Ghana, has made significant interventions towards improving both student welfare and ICT education at Salaga Senior High School. She has commenced the renovation of two important boys' dormitory facilities, namely the John Bawa House Boys' Dormitory(named after her late father and first Headmasterof the school) and the Kpembewura Boys' Dormitory, while also undertaking the renovation of the school's ICT Laboratory and pledging to furnish it with computers. These interventions will undoubtedly improve accommodation conditions for students and strengthen the school's capacity to provide quality digital education, thereby equipping learners with essential skills for the modern world.
Hon. Hajia Zuwera Ibrahim Mohammed, Member of Parliament for the Salaga South Constituency, has consistently demonstrated her commitment to the development and welfare of the SASS community through several important interventions. She has constructed a solar-powered mechanised borehole for the school, fulfilled her GH¢20,000 pledge made during the launch of the school's 50th Anniversary celebrations, and has further initiated the renovation of the school's dining hall, which has officially been handed over to a contractor for work to commence. Her continued support is a testament to her dedication to improving the living and learning conditions of students and promoting the overall development of Salaga Senior High School.
Hon. Rabiu Yazid Kassim, Municipal Chief Executive for the East Gonja Municipality and a proud old student, has contributed to improving safety and visibility on the school's campus through the donation of 20 pieces of street lights to Salaga Senior High School. This thoughtful intervention will help enhance illumination within the school environment and contribute to the safety and security of students, staff, and residents, particularly during the night. The SASS community sincerely appreciates this valuable contribution and the MCE's commitment to supporting the development of educational institutions within the municipality.
Dr. Alhaji Tanko Surazu, Chief Director, ministry of Land and Natural resources, and a proud old student of Salaga Senior High School, has demonstrated his love and commitment to his alma mater through a generous donation of GH¢30,000 to support the development of the school. His contribution is a powerful reminder of the important role old students can play in giving back to the institutions that helped shape their lives and careers. The SASS community is profoundly grateful for this remarkable gesture and commends him for demonstrating the true spirit of loyalty, gratitude, and service to his alma mater.
The contributions of these distinguished personalities represent only some of the many forms of support that Salaga Senior High School has received from well-meaning sons and daughters of the land. Their interventions in infrastructure, water supply, student welfare, security, technology, and financial support continue to make a meaningful difference in the lives of our students and contribute to the transformation of the school.
The Management, Board of Governors, PTA Executives, Staff, SSOSA, Students, and the entire SASS community extend their heartfelt gratitude to these illustrious personalities for their immense contributions. We celebrate them not only for what they have given but also for the example they have set for others to follow. We respectfully call on other old students, citizens of the East Gonja Municipality, corporate bodies, development partners, and all well-meaning individuals to emulate these worthy examples and join hands in supporting the continued growth and development of Salaga Senior High School.
Together, we can honour our past, strengthen our present, and build a brighter future for generations of students yet to come.
SASS celebrates its distinguished sons and daughters and remains deeply grateful for their unwavering support.
