The Ghana Senior High School (GHANASCO), celebrating its 65th anniversary last weekend, welcomed a wave of former students returning to relive memories and celebrate their legacy.
Classmates of the President took the chance as they described how His Excellency carried himself on campus.
One whose name was not captured emphasised Mahama’s innate gentleness.
“He grew up with a natural sense of care and respect for everyone. He was a perfect gentleman,” she said.
Another added, “He was always considerate and thoughtful. You could see he genuinely cared about those around him.”
The former classmate expressed her astonishment at seeing someone they once shared classrooms with become the President of Ghana.
“At that time, we never imagined he would become the President,” one said.
The nostalgia of old friendships, combined with pride in his achievements, made the celebration even more special for them.
The former student also ended up in the health sector, where she has now retired, enjoying her days.
She also took the opportunity to advise current GHANASCO students.
She urged the students to approach their education seriously, emphasising the value of the free educational opportunities provided by the government.
“Take your studies seriously. Work hard. The foundations you build here will define your future,” they said.
