The anniversary is being held under the theme: “35 Years of Quality Education: Celebrating the Future, Inspiring the Present.”
The celebration began with a lively procession and float through the principal streets of Juaboso, attracting attention and excitement from residents as students and staff showcased the spirit of the school.
The official ceremony was later held at the school’s Assembly Hall, bringing together a wide range of dignitaries, including the Chairman of the occasion, the Chief of Juaboso, the District Coordinating Director, the District Director of Education, headmasters of Asawinso SHS and Adjoafua SHS, former Juaboso DCE, Hon.
