Mfantsipim: One hundred and fifty

The uniforms have changed.

The faces have changed.

But something remains;

The spirit.

It lives in every student,

who walks on these grounds with a dream,

in every teacher,

who refuses to give up on a mind,

and in every old boy

who still carries the school

wherever life takes him.

One hundred and fifty years,

is more than a number.

it is a thousand stories,

 a million footsteps,

and generations of greatness

woven into one name.

Today we do not only celebrate

where Mfantsipim has been.

We celebrate where it is going.

Because one hundred and fifty years ago,

Someone planted a seed.

Generations watered it.

And today,

We stand beneath the shade,

not to admire the trees,

but to become the forest.
