The Peki Senior High School Old Students' Association (PESCOSA) is set to hold a sod-cutting ceremony on Friday, 9 October 2026, to mark the beginning of the construction of a new entrance gate for Peki Senior High School. The ceremony will take place at the school's campus in the South Dayi District of the Volta Region. The event will bring together alumni, traditional leaders, and education officials to support the infrastructure initiative.

The project is the brainchild of PESCOSA National President David Kwame Aziago, who is also the Chief Executive Officer of Davida Roofing Systems Limited. The 2003 year group of the school is also supporting the initiative. Peki Senior High School, popularly known as PESCO, is one of the oldest secondary schools in the Volta Region. The proposed gate will give the institution a new frontage, featuring an architectural design that includes the school's name and crest.

Deiga Kwadzo Dei XII, the Paramount Chief of the Peki Traditional Area, will be the special guest of honour at the ceremony. Other notable guests include the South Dayi District Chief Executive, Courage Kokroko; the District Director of Education, Prosper Yevu; and the school's headmistress, Peace Ama Goka. PESCOSA National President David Kwame Aziago and National Council Chairman Fatherland Kyei will also participate in the event.

The ceremony offers former students an opportunity to reconnect with their alma mater and support the development of an institution that has educated generations of Ghanaians. All old students are urged to support the initiative, which aims to provide a befitting entrance gate for the school. The project is seen as a way to demonstrate alumni support for their former school.

Peki Senior High School has a long history in the Volta Region, and the new entrance gate is expected to enhance the school's appearance. The school's Board Chairman, Dr Phanuel Wunu, and its 70th Anniversary CPC Chairman, Dr Collins Kafui Azah, will also be in attendance at the ceremony. The event is a significant milestone for the school and its alumni.

The sod-cutting ceremony is scheduled to take place on Friday, 9 October 2026, and will mark the beginning of the construction process. The new entrance gate is expected to be a notable feature of the school's infrastructure. The project's success will depend on the support of alumni and other stakeholders.
