The purpose of the Society of Odadee Professionals is to celebrate the culture of academic excellence among current and past students of Presec Legon.
We have a constitution and a set of by-laws to enable us attain the following goals.
- Mobilize the diverse pool of Presecan and non-Presec talents around the world to support Odadee, non-Odadees and current students.
- Present achievement scholarships to selected students in Presec and elsewhere. We currently are instituting an academic scholarship in honor of Mrs. C.S. Akyeampong. Recipients of this scholarship will have combined strong academic performance with the development of the arts.
- Raise money and sponsor projects that will contribute to the development of Presec.
- Promote the development of the Arts in Presec.
We operate under the umbrella of the Old Boys of Presec Association and promote the activities of the society through volunteer committees. All Odadees are welcome to join this networking facilitating effort. However we hope that you consider investing some time, treasure, and talent in nurturing selected Akyeampong Scholars or sponsoring Presec enhancement projects or volunteering on any of the committees that help keep this organization going.
Arts Promotion Committee (arts.odadeeprofs (at) odadee.org)
Mrs. C.S. Akyeampong impacted and continues to impact the lives many Presecans and non-Presecans outside the classroom in the development of the arts -reading, writing, poetry, drama, dance, etc.This committee will work vigorously to sustain and continue to promote arts -reading, writing, poetry, drama, dance, etc in Presec and elsewhere. The committee will work with the Investment Committee to raise funds to promote arts in Presec and elsewhere.
Scholarship Award Committee (scholarship (at) odadee.org)
The Scholarship Award Committee will identify students of Presec who demonstrated academic excellence alongside excellence in activities outside the classroom such in the area of arts, leadership potential, and service to the Presec community. Student nominees will be asked to write an essay. The committee will review nomination letters, grades, and essays before coming to a decision. Our initial scholarship scheme is in honor of Mrs C.S. Akyeampong. We hope to implement scholarships honoring other teachers in Presec shortly.
