Anglican Grammar School, Igbara-Oke, Shines Brighter: Old Students Champion Development Projects
Anglican Grammar School School, Igbara-Oke, are witnessing a renaissance, thanks to the unwavering commitment and generosity of their Old Students Association as the school are now witnessing tremendous transformations with the state of art facilities.
Dr. (Mrs.) Ayodele Ojo, retired principal of Anglican Grammar School, while speaking with the Democrat News Magazine expressed her heartfelt gratitude, noting the tremendous impact made by former students.
“To the glory of God,” she said, “our alumni have returned to give back. The 1985 set erected a beautiful pavilion and awarded scholarships to 10 deserving students, while the 1980 set constructed a befitting school gate.”
“The National President of the Old Students Association also leveraged his office to facilitate the construction of a modern administrative block and a state-of-the-art e-library. In addition, the school’s bus service has been revived, science laboratories have been refurbished, and work on perimeter fencing is currently underway—all with alumni support.
Mr. Adebisi Obele, Chairman of the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA), has also played a vital role in backing these initiatives, further fostering the school’s growth and academic excellence.
Current Principal, Mr. Olabode Moses, lauded the efforts of the Old Students Association, describing them as deeply inspiring. “Their contributions are transforming the school,” he said. “Their visits, both physical and virtual, have been instrumental in pushing ongoing projects forward.”
Distinguished alumni, including Rt. Rev. Oyinlola, Pastor Oladipupo, and Hon. Babalola, recently visited the school, touring the campus and engaging in discussions with colleagues abroad on strategies to sustain and improve development efforts.
They were particularly impressed to see students actively participating in their lessons and expressed strong interest in supporting the school’s academic progress. Plans are underway to deploy more corps members to provide extra classes and bolster teaching capacity.
Mr. Moses encouraged parents to consider enrolling their children at Anglican Grammar School, Igbara-Oke. “Many of our former students are now excelling in various universities. The foundation here is strong, and with continued support, the future is even brighter.
