The historic “Angel’s Hill” of Holy Child School is earmarked to celebrate its landmark 80th Anniversary.
The global HOPSA sisterhood is preparing for a homecoming that honours both past prestige and future sustainability.
Leading the charge for this milestone is the HOPSA 2001 Year Group, the Sapphires, who are returning to Cape Coast after 25 years, to celebrate their silver jubilee homecoming by delivering a life-changing gift to their alma mater.
The week-long celebration, is scheduled to take place from March 4 to March 8, 2026. A major highlight of the anniversary celebrations will take place on March 5, a date of deep significance as it marks the school’s Founder’s Day.
In a gesture that bridges the vision of the school’s pioneers with the needs of the modern era, the 2001 Sapphires will officially hand over an impressive Legacy Water Project.
Engineered to generate 20,000 gallons of water daily, the system is designed to provide a permanent, sustainable solution for over 2,000 students, as well as the teaching and non-teaching staff who call Angel’s Hill their home.
This infrastructure overhaul is powered by a sophisticated 50KW HV hybrid solar system, featuring 35.12KWH of storage and a dedicated 28.56kWp solar pumping station.
By utilising renewable energy, the project ensures that the students of Holy Child School no longer face the interruptions of water scarcity or power fluctuations, allowing them to focus entirely on the academic excellence that has defined the School for eight decades.
Speaking on the impact of the project, the President of the 2001 Year Group, Anita Nadia Attah, noted: “This project is our ‘thank you’ to our alma mater. It is important to us to ensure that we mark twenty-five years of leaving Angel’s Hill with more than just memories.
We are doing this by providing a clean, solar-powered water solution for the School so that the precious time of the girls is focused on their learning, thereby providing assurance that they have the environment they need to lead and excel.”
Mrs. Attah continued, “As Sapphires, we are honored to lead the way back home, not just to celebrate, but to give back through our Legacy Water Project. We are calling on all HOPSANs to join us as we paint Cape Coast Sapphire Blue and Purple. We remain eternally grateful to all stakeholders who have supported us in diverse ways on this memorable journey.”
The celebration continues into the weekend, reaching a crescendo on March 7, with the 80th Anniversary Speech and Prize Giving Day. This prestigious occasion will be graced by the Vice President of Ghana, H.E, Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, as the Special Guest of Honour, and Professor Nana Aba Appiah Amfo, Vice Chancellor, University of Ghana, as the Chairperson.
The week of nostalgia, impact, and sisterhood will conclude on March 8, with a Thanksgiving Service in the school chapel, where generations of HOPSANs—from the pioneers of 1946 to the current students will gather to celebrate a legacy of sisterhood.
