Mfantsipim School has honoured distinguished alumni, members of staff and corporate partners at its 150th anniversary Awards and Fundraising Dinner, held on Saturday, October 31, 2026.

The event brought together old boys, invited guests, institutional partners and corporate leaders to celebrate the school's 150-year contribution to education and national development while raising funds towards its long-term development priorities.

A major highlight of the evening was the recognition of individuals whose achievements and contributions reflect the school's values and traditions.

Executive Chairman of KGL Group, Alex Apau Dadey, received two honours — the Partner of Impact Award and a special category award recognising his contributions to Mfantsipim.

Other award recipients included Mr Solomon Kweku Afful, named Outstanding Teaching Staff, and Mrs Constance Odur, who received the Outstanding Non-Teaching Staff award.

The Education Impact Award went to Kwame Dapaah-Afriyie, while the Distinguished Alumnus Award for Academia and Research was awarded to Prof. Albert Kwadwo Adu Boahen.

George Quaye received the award for Arts and Cultural Excellence, while the late Rt. Hon. Prof. Kofi Abrefa Busia was recognised in the Public Service and Governance category.

Mr Frank Ivan Adama Tackie received the Distinguished Alumnus Award for Business and Entrepreneurship.

Beyond the awards, the dinner served as a fundraising platform to support Mfantsipim's anniversary ambitions and long-term development projects.

The live auction featured artworks, a limited release of 10 custom anniversary Caveman Watches and a Collector's Edition of the school's 150th Anniversary Anthology.

The proceeds are intended to support the school's legacy and infrastructure projects.

The evening also featured performances by Ghanaian artistes Sefa and Efya.

KGL Group and Margins Group were recognised as the event's main sponsors.

Among the prominent guests were the Deputy Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Dr Justice Srem-Sai, and the Okuapemhene, Oseadeeyo Kwasi Akuffo III.

As the school marks 150 years of educational service, the awards and fundraising dinner provided an opportunity to celebrate its history while mobilising support for its future.
