Pearson said, "The Government appointed two very eminent architects, Maxwell Fry and Jane Drew, as the architects for the school. I first of all visited them in their offices in London to discuss their ideas and plans and they later came out to Kumasi to have a look at the actual site. In their day their designs were very new and experimental – especially the roof of the Assembly Hall and the curving classroom block. When they were built they attracted much favourable attention. The contractor responsible for building the school was E. Tonone, an Italian company."

    The first Prempeh First Lady is standing on the balcony of the Headmaster's house. The Pearsons were married on 18 December 1941 in the chapel at Wesley College, where Rev. Pearson taught. They met for the first time in January 1939, when Rev. Pearson was asked if he would show a newly-arrived missionary around. Irene Dixon was going to be joining the staff at Mofratro School and Teacher Training College. The rest is history!
