    The 52nd Speech & Prize-Giving Day in December 2001:

    President JA Kufuor on campus to commission the new Science Block. This was when he made his maiden flight on the refurbished Fokker 28 Presidential Jet from Accra to Kumasi. The Fokker 28, which was purchased during the reign of the National Redemption Council (NRC) under the late General Ignatius Kutu Acheampong, had just been returned from Holland, where it underwent refurbishment.

    The cadets put up their best display, when His Excellency President J.A. Kufuor came to campus. This group of cadets may go down in history as having performed the Guards of Honour for many outstanding personalities, chief among them the President and the King.

    His Majesty the King also came with the President. What a great day it was on the 52nd Speech and Prize-Giving Day ceremony in December 2001. The President had earlier in the Day attended the honorary doctorate conferment ceremony of the Asantehene at KNUST.

    The Senior Prefects of the day (2001/2002): Seth Asiedu Miah (S.P., Pearson House) in the center, on Miah's left is Ebenezer Wireko (ASP I, Freeman House) and the third handsome fellow is Ekow Eshun John, the 2nd ASP. These guys have a reputation to uphold. In the year preceeding this one, Prempeh scored 99.4 percent in Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination with a student of the school emerging as the overall best student nation-wide and the best student in science nation-wide.

    Here are the "fineboys" (remember that famous Prempeh song?) again with The Stool on the occasion of the 52nd Speech & Prize-Giving Day.

    The cadets provided the best Guards of Honour ceremony the President had ever witnessed. The President was particularly pleased with the smart turn out of the students and the Cadet Corps in general, saying that he was a founding member of the corps in 1955 and was a Sergeant.

    He could not believe that these were not real soldiers. This ceremony was superb. The Ghana National flag is flying high alongside the Suban ne Nimdee flag. Powerful! The new library is seen in the background. The television media dubbed this grand ceremony "the greatest cadet display ever."
