GIVE-BACK PROJECTS
The association has undertaken several give-back projects in the school.

The entire length of reconstruction work spanned 85metres. The reconstruction work became imperative when armed hoodlums gained entry into the school premises and murdered a teacher, Late Mr. Kalu Mong. Two fundraising events tagged Excellence Ball were organized to raise funds in 2014 and 2015. The new fence was commissioned in 2017.
Material Aid
