The National Executive of the Enitonna High School Alumni Association has announced plans to unveil the school’s Strategic Development Masterplan on May 3 in Port Harcourt.
The unveiling will take place at a Presidential Luncheon at the Enitonna High School Chapel, Borokiri.
The National President of the association, Sir Godfrey Ohuabunwa, said in a statement on Monday.
He said the initiative reflected a collective commitment by alumni and stakeholders to preserve the school’s heritage while preparing it for the future.
The association said the initiative was aimed at repositioning the institution for sustainable growth and global competitiveness.
Established in 1932, Enitonna High School is regarded as the oldest secondary school in the old Rivers/Bayelsa states, with a longstanding record of academic excellence and leadership.
According to the association, the masterplan outlines key priorities, including infrastructure renewal, academic advancement, digital transformation, student welfare, institutional sustainability, and enhanced alumni engagement.
“This is more than the unveiling of a development plan. It is a reaffirmation of our commitment to the growth and long-term advancement of our alma mater,” he said.
Ohuabunwa noted that the school had produced generations of leaders and professionals, adding that it was the responsibility of alumni to contribute meaningfully to its continued development.
He said the event, with the theme “Uniting Our Past, Building Our Future,” would attract alumni, traditional rulers, community leaders, education stakeholders and industry leaders from across the country and beyond.
The association also said the occasion would feature recognition of distinguished alumni who had contributed to the school’s legacy.
Enitonna High School was founded on May 2, 1932, by missionary and educationist, Rev. Lionel Randall Potts-Johnson.
Notable alumni include a former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Austin Opara, and Sen. Mao Ohuabunwa, a former lawmaker and member of the ECOWAS Parliament.
The association described them as exemplifying the values of leadership, integrity and excellence associated with the institution. (NAN)
