WHO IS BEHIND IT?

The Catholic Church of Konongo-Mampong Diocese is the able Proprietor of this new and unique school.

It is under the management of the Local Manager, Rev. Fr. Thomas Oppong-Mensah, the Parish Priest of St. Joseph Parish Church, Mamponteng and headed by Rev. Fr. Sylvester Frimpong. OLAG-SHS is funded and supported by some well-meaning Parishioners of Our Lady of Grace Parish, Edina, Minnesota, USA.

WHAT IS THE MOTIVE?

The motive for establishing OLAG-SHS by the Local Agents and Agency is to provide quality secondary education for young people of this community/district, and for Ghanaian youth in general, to experience academic excellence and holistic formation for life; from the Catholic perspective of fear and worship of God, and acknowledgement of Jesus as our Lord and Saviour, of respect and preservation of life, moral uprightness, honesty, respect for the dignity of labour to improve quality of life, and all which promote peace and good-will among mankind. These and more are the ideas shared in common with our overseas benefactors for establishing OLAG-SHS.
  • Boarding students are required to provide themselves with items listed on the School Prospectus.
  • On the school bills issued to students, charges are itemized so they know exactly what is being paid for.
