T.I.
Ahmadiyya Senior High School in Kumasi (Real AMASS) is poised to annex the
Super Zonals Athletics Championship trophy for the fifth year running.
The
School is currently occupying the enviable position of being the four time champions
for both the male and female categories of the sporting event in the Ashanti
region.
Over
100 senior high schools have been participating in the annual event.
Headmaster
of Real AMASS, Yakub Abubakar, says the achievement is unprecedented in the
annals of sports in the region and most probably in the country.
“Our
enviable track record in sports is such that anytime we are in competition with
other schools, it is seen as a contest between David and Goliath”, he stated at
the School’s 63rd Speech and Prize-Giving Day celebration in Kumasi.
“In
fact, some of my colleague headmasters have strongly suggested that the school
be upgraded to a tertiary level when it comes to sports so that we leave other
schools who are equal to compete”.
Real
AMASS has produced some of the finest national sporting personalities over the
years.
Mr.
Abubakar noted some boys and girls who have excelled in sports have been
supported to gain admission to higher levels of education.
One
of the best athletes for 2012, Atsu Nyamadi, has gained admission into the
Neosho County Community College in Kansas, USA to pursuit of higher education.
To
effectively combine its sports and academic work, the headmaster enjoined the
Ministry of Education, the Ghana Education Service and the GETFund to speed up
the completion of the school dining hall, Assembly Hall, Boys’ dormitories and
Science Block.
Real
AMASS also wants provision of girls’ dormitory, school library and staff bungalow.
