VISIT TO FORMER HEADMISTRESS OF MMOFRATURO GIRLS’ SCHOOL

VISIT TO FORMER HEADMISTRESS OF MMOFRATURO GIRLS’ SCHOOL by 1970’s – 1980’s Students

Ms. Grace Regina Boateng, the former Headmistress of Mmofraturo Girls Boarding School in Kumasi, received a courtesy call from former pupils of the school.

The 13-member delegation of Old Students led by Sis. Doris Danso, Sis. Esther Atakora, Sis. Janet Owusu Appiah and Sis. Betty Bempong gave the 79-year-old former Headmistress together with the Chronicles of Mmofraturo Girl’s Boarding School, a bespoke portrait, citation, and an undisclosed amount of cash donation.

Ms. Grace Regina Boateng was surprised by the visit, especially after leaving Mmofraturo with mixed emotions. She described several anecdotes and situations that occurred at Mmofraturo during her tenure as Headmistress of the school, which were harsh disciplinary actions to nurture and groom a group of responsible girls for the future of Ghana and the world. A promise she kept to herself as her goal to build character and self-discipline in the girls at Mmofraturo. Therefore, she was most pleased to see the girls she nurtured and groomed as Headmistress visiting her later in life as mothers, grandmothers, and as responsible citizens who are making credible impact in Ghana and around the world.

The 13-member delegates on the other hand apologized to their former Headmistress on behalf of other former school, and classmates including those in diaspora, who were unable to be part of the visit but were fully supportive of the visit, and also thanked their former Headmistress for her strict discipline, to inculcate in them the discipline that turned them into responsible adults and citizens, which wouldn’t have been the case had she overlooked their youthful exuberance at the time.

Ms. Regina Boateng and her family, who were visibly pleased with the visit, thanked her former pupils for the honor they accorded her with their visit.

The following is a note from one of the former School Prefects, Ms. Harriet Anita Araba Abaidoo (Parliamentary candidate for Okaikor South, 2012/2016), who was out of the country during the visit to the former Headmistress.
