Wesley Girls’ High School Launches 190th Anniversary Celebrations with Legacy STEAM Kitchen and Infrastructure Projects

Wesley Girls’ High School (Wey Gey Hey), one of Ghana’s most prestigious educational institutions, has officially announced the launch of its 190th-anniversary celebrations. Operating under the theme "Honouring Our Roots, Igniting Tomorrow," the year-long global celebration commemorates nearly two centuries of pioneering excellence in girls' education since the school's founding in September 1836. The festivities are scheduled to formally commence on July 3, 2026, marking a significant milestone in the school’s storied history of academic and moral leadership. Central to the anniversary is an ambitious fundraising campaign aimed at funding transformative legacy projects designed to benefit both current students and the local community. The primary objectives include the construction of a modern STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) Kitchen and a new four-classroom kindergarten block. These initiatives reflect the school’s commitment to evolving its infrastructure to meet contemporary educational standards while maintaining its foundational values. The school administration and alumni are calling on all "Old Girls," stakeholders, and the public to contribute to these developments through dedicated bank accounts established for the occasion. The celebrations will feature a diverse lineup of activities beginning with a high-profile logo unveiling and fundraising launch at the Wesley Towers Auditorium in Accra. This will be followed by the introduction of a commemorative anniversary cloth and a series of community-centered events in Cape Coast, including a float procession through the streets and a health outreach program. Cultural and spiritual components will also be prominent, featuring a gospel concert and the highly anticipated Grand Wrigley Durbar, which serves as a homecoming for thousands of alumni from across the globe. By reflecting on its journey from 1836 to the present, Wesley Girls’ High School seeks to reinforce its motto: "Live Pure. Speak True. Right Wrong. Follow the King." The 190th anniversary serves as more than just a celebration of longevity; it is a strategic effort to ignite interest in the future of women’s empowerment in Ghana. As the institution prepares for its third century of service, these celebrations underscore the enduring impact of quality education and the vital role the school continues to play in shaping the next generation of female leaders.
