Membership of the Board consisted of representatives from the District Assembly, Old Students, Education Directorate, Traditional Council and Parent Association members.

Inaugurating the Board, Mrs. Ivy Asantewaa Owusu, the Bono Regional Director of Education, encouraged the members to bring their experience to bear to help the management of the school.

She indicated that to enable the Board to work effectively, the Ghana Education Service has approved guidelines provided by the Ministry of Education in the form of a constitution for the Board Members to operate within, and that, the new board is reconstituted under the Educational Act of 1961 to control and advise the management of the school to perform its duties effectively.

She noted that the concept of putting in place a Board was based on the policy of community participation in education. “The activities of the school cannot be divorced from the community whose interest the school sought to serve" She said.

The Headmaster of the school, Rev. Fr. Hubert Asante Kumi commended the old Board members for their efforts and contributions towards both the development and academic excellence of the school and assured the new Board of transparent administration and co-operation to ensure the discipline of students as well as academic staff.

Rev. Dr. Nana John Addae Boateng, Chairman of the New Board on behalf of the Members thanked the school authorities for the confidence repose in them and pledged that the elected representatives would bring their rich experience on board to help build the image of the school to the highest level.
