Bright Senior High School (SHS) has been adjudged the Best Private Senior High School in Ghana at the Heroes of Distinction Conference and Awards.
The award scheme is an annual event, organised by the West Africa International Press Limited to honour outstanding Ghanaian personalities and entrepreneurs for their contribution to the economic growth of Ghana.
The award ceremony was instituted in 2018 in furtherance of the objective of the press house to provide a platform for recognition, promotion and celebration of corporate entities and individuals of excellence.
Bright Senior High School won the second cycle education category award on merit after careful assessment by a panel of distinguished personalities.
The panel took into consideration the consistent impressive academic performance of Bright SHS in the West Africa Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), the high level of discipline, effective monitoring and supervision structure, availability of modern ICT and science laboratories as well as the availability of subjects’ specialist teachers in the school among others.
The Vice President of Bright Senior High School, Dominic Acquah, who led a delegation to receive the award, told the media that, “selecting Bright Senior High School as the Best Private School in Ghana is recognition of hard work, investment, commitment and quality education.
“It is going to help us raise the standard of the school more. We are going to lift the bar in private education. Now almost all teachers in the school are graduates with Masters and PhD, and those with First class honours are all teaching there, and in fact the President of the school, Bright Amponsah, continues to invest to improve the quality of teaching.”
President of West Africa International Press Limited, Dr Dee Otibu-Asare said the objective of his outfit is to recognise trailblazers who have contributed immensely to the country’s socio-economic development of the sub-region.
“These are those whose undertakings are of strategic importance to the development of West Africa and the entire African continent. We hope the honours will ginger you to do more for mother Ghana and the West Africa sub-region.”
The chairman of the governing council of Wisconsin International University College, Noble Justice Isaac Duose, congratulated the awardees, saying: “You have not been carelessly selected. You’ve been carefully selected and we are targeting that in due course you’ll be our light in the country’s developmental agenda.”
14 other personalities and corporate entities were honoured alongside Bright Senior High School during the 2021 West Africa International Press Limited’s Heroes of Distinction award.
The personalities include the President of the Ghana Union of Traders Association (GUTA), Dr Joseph Obeng, Joseph Albert Quarm, Nana (Dr) Appiagyei Dankwaso I, and Dr Agyaba Kwame Afriyie.
The corporate awardees included Etoile Engineering Limited, Chocho Industries, Baah Herbal Centre, Rene Educational Centre and JIK Management Consultancy Services.
