Wesley Girls’ High School’s first Ghanaian non-missionary headmistress, Dr. Rosina Acheampong, passed away. On January 1, 2025, she passed away at the age of 85. In her 30 years of service to the esteemed institution, Dr. Acheampong served as headmistress for 16 of those years, upholding the rigorous academic and disciplinary standards for which the school is renowned.
Former student Dr. Esi Ansah conveyed the tragic news of Dr. Acheampong’s death on social media in a memorial, lovingly mentioning that her loved ones called her “Archie.” After serving as assistant headmistress for three years, Dr. Acheampong’s legacy at Wesley Girls began. After the former headmistress, Mrs. Howarth, retired in 1981, she became the first Ghanaian headmistress. Up until her retirement, her leadership played a crucial role in upholding the school’s esteemed reputation.
As the Ghana Education Service’s first female deputy director-general, Dr. Acheampong also created history during her tenure. Many alumni have positive memories of her discipline and leadership, and her contributions to education have had a long-lasting effect.
