For this year's event, the OAA93 year group honoured a former headmaster, Robert Asiedu and two former assistant heads. More than 50 teachers who taught in Achimota school at the time were appreciated; those who are deceased were recognised posthumously. 

The current headmistress Mrs. Beatrice Adom also received recognition on behalf of the current teaching staff who were not left out of the event held at the achimota school club house.

Former biology teacher Mr. Wuver said "thank you for making us proud as teachers" while a current teacher at the school who taught members of the group Mr. Asamoah nicknamed "Bokasa" said "the event is a good one and we apprieciate itl".

OAA93 President, Edward Osafo said the members of the year group were grateful to the teachers for the knowledge they imparted into them when they were students.
