The celebration was a moment of renewed commitment to excellence as old students, dignitaries, community leaders, staff, and students gathered to commemorate six decades of impactful education.
The week-long anniversary activities, which featured a mix of educational and entertainment programmes, climaxed on Saturday, 21st February, 2026, at the school’s park. The event attracted distinguished personalities from academia, politics, religious institutions, and the media, underscoring the school’s enduring legacy in shaping generations of leaders and professionals.
Among the dignitaries was Bernard Ahiafor, First Deputy Speaker of Ghana’s Ninth Parliament and Member of Parliament for the Akatsi South Constituency, who is also a proud alumnus of the school.
Mr. Ahiafor expressed deep nostalgia as he returned to his alma mater, where he once served as Senior Prefect during the 1992/93 academic year. He described himself as a direct beneficiary of the values, discipline, and leadership training instilled by ABORSCO.
He was accompanied by John Dumelo, Member of Parliament for Ayawaso West Wuogon and Deputy Minister for Agriculture, as well as Kwame Dzudzorli Gakpey, Member of Parliament for the Keta Constituency.

The durbar was chaired by Torgbui Tengey Dzokoto Gligui VII, Paramount Chief of Anyako, whose presence added traditional dignity and cultural depth to the celebration.
The “Bernard Ahiafor Excellence Award” was instituted to celebrate the lawmaker who will recognise the best three students in Senior High School One, Two and Three, with scholarships to be awarded to outstanding final-year students.
Various speakers at the event praised Abor Senior High School (ABORSCO) for its consistent contribution to national development through quality education and character formation. They urged current students to uphold the school’s proud traditions and strive for excellence in all endeavours.
