Mfantsipim School launched its historic 150th anniversary on Saturday, 11th April 2026, in Accra. The launch celebrated a century and a half of "shaping minds and moulding character". The event served as the official opening of a year-long calendar leading up to the main celebration later this year.
The launch was held under the theme "Mfantsipim @ 150: Shaping Ghana's Greatest Minds," and was graced by high-profile dignitaries, including Vice President Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang and the Minister of Education. Nana Sam Brew-Butler, Chairman of the Grand Launch, highlighted the factual and historical impact of the "Mfantsipim Man" on national life. John B. Amoah, Chairman of the anniversary planning committee, traced the origins of the school to its founding vision of producing well-educated citizens of the then Gold Coast, now Ghana, who would serve both God and country. Moses Baiden Jr, Abusuapanyin of the Mfantsipim Old Boys Association (MOBA) and CEO of Margins Group, underscored the school's foundational role in shaping Ghana's national identity and leadership culture.
The celebration has been carefully designed not only as a time of reunion and reflection, but also as a forward-looking initiative aimed at inspiring future generations. Goodwill messages were delivered by business magnate Sir Sam Jonah, the Methodist Church Ghana and Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu.
