DSP Edmund Appiah was among the 1992 year group of students who completed.

He was accompanied by his wife.
A new Board of Governors of W.B.M Zion Senior High School in Akyem Old Tafo in Abuakwa North Municipality in the Eastern region was recently inaugurated amidst infrastructural challenges bedeviling the school.
Members of the new Board are; Mrs. Margret Nsiah Ofori (Regional Director of Education), Bartholomew Ofori (Director General of GES), Ms. Abena Gyamera (Abuakwa North Municipal Director of Education), Prof. Emmanuel Adinyira (AME Church Representative), Mr. Richard Anarfi (Headmaster ), Mr. Joseph Obeng (PTA representative), Mr. Ruth Woode, Mr.Roya Boateng Antwi (Abuakwa North Assembly Representative), Mr. Donald Kwame Asiedu and Ms. Kyerewa Philomina (Old Students Representatives), Rev. Francis Omanpeh Siaw (Teaching staff representative), Mrs.Dorcas Boateng Antwi (Non-Teaching staff representative, and Ms. Getrude Ampomaa Mensah (Traditional Council Representative).
W.B.M Senior High School, formerly known as AMEZSS since its establishment in 1979 had operated in a rented facility until 2016 when the school relocated to a new site albeit uncompleted facilities.
A girl’s dormitory block project has been abandoned while inadequate classrooms have forced school authorities to convert part of the boy’s dormitory into classrooms. Inadequate teacher’s bungalow is also affecting supervision.
Security on campus is compromised due to the absence of a fence wall.
Joseph Obeng, PTA chairman of the school says some female students were nearly raped by some rapists.
“Yes, some time ago we had a report that when the children wash their items and hang some thieves maneuver their way out to take some of the items away from the school. More importantly, some boys came in the night to try to rape some of the girls so the walling of the school is our priority now but the school is faced with many infrastructural challenges”
