Osei Kyeretwie Senior High School

OKESS Services

Service to God and Humanity

Engaging in acts of kindness, supporting those in need, and uplifting our communities are integral parts of this service. Through compassion and dedication, we can make a meaningful impact in the lives of others.

Extending Our Resources Beyond the Classroom

As a government-owned institution, Osei Kyeretwie Senior High School (OKESS) has always recognised its role in serving not only students but also the wider community. With its spacious land, strong infrastructure, and vibrant cultural heritage, the school occasionally avails its resources to third parties, particularly during holidays. Funds raised from such activities are channelled directly into facility maintenance, student welfare, and support for the school’s sports programmes. This ensures that every external use of OKESS resources strengthens the school’s core mission of academic and sporting excellence.

Facility Use for Events

OKESS offers its facilities to the community, institutions, and partners for carefully approved activities.

Celebrations and Gatherings

The school’s expansive land and assembly spaces are ideal for weddings, anniversaries, and cultural festivals.

Educational and Academic Use

During holidays, classrooms and halls are made available for extra classes, revision programmes, and university outreach events.

Churches, diaspora groups, and community associations regularly use the school grounds for conventions, reunions, and special services.

Partnerships and Exchange Programmes

Beyond local events, OKESS plays an international role through academic and cultural exchange.

Exchange Programmes

The school serves as a core centre for exchange programmes with institutions across Africa, Europe, the UK, the USA, and beyond.

Cultural Collaborations

Events showcasing Ashanti and Ghanaian culture are hosted at OKESS, linking tradition with global exposure.

The school grounds host diaspora-focused events that reconnect communities abroad with their roots in Ghana.

Diaspora Engagements

Alumni and Community Support

The Ahenemma (OKESS Old Students Associations) remain central in sustaining the school’s services.

Alumni Office and Events

Old students maintain a permanent official presence on campus, regularly engaging with students and faculty.

Support Through Events

Even when no official school event is scheduled, alumni deliberately organise programmes to raise funds at no cost to the school.

Inter-house competitions serve as the primary pathway for selecting boys and girls to represent OKESS in sports. Winners are celebrated by both the school and alumni associations, reinforcing the school’s strong sporting tradition.
