The Aga Khan Higher Secondary School, Karachi, proudly hosted a Merit Citation Ceremony last week, spotlighting the exceptional achievements of the Batch of 2023. From the sports grounds to academic and co-curricular activities, our students have illuminated every arena on both national and international stages. In the realm of academics, our students have excelled by achieving 11 national and regional positions at the Aga Khan University Examination Board (AKU-EB) and 20 subject distinctions.
We were proud to welcome Barrister Murtaza Wahab, the Mayor of Karachi, as the Chief Guest at the Merit Citation Ceremony. Ms. Samina Chagani, an alumnus of the AKHSS Karachi Batch of 2001, and recipient of the Sitara-e-Imtiaz, graced the occasion as the Guest of Honour. Other distinguished guests included the CEO of the AKU-EB, Dr. Shehzad Jeeva, CEO of the Aga Khan Education Service, Pakistan, Mr. Imtiaz Momin, the leadership of the South region, school leaders, teachers, parents and students.
The highlights of the ceremony included the recognition of Aliza Sabir for her exceptional achievement in playing for Pakistan national cricket and football teams. Equally noteworthy was Rameesha Ahmed securing a National Position at the AKU-EB Board.
The ceremony also featured the launch of three impactful books, authored by Dr. Zahra Batool from the faculty of AKHSS Karachi, and Abd-e-Ali Nauman and Asna Shabib, current students of the school.
A special mention and appreciation were reserved for the dedicated teachers, the true backbone of the institution.
Let's collectively celebrate the holistic success of our students, acknowledging their brilliance not only academia but also in sports and co-curriculars!
