EYLA class of 2023
Graduation – 24th August 2023
The King Edward Hall at Bank of America witnessed a remarkable event as 23 graduating scholars, under the guidance of Miss Carol, entered its prestigious great hall.
In attendance were proud parents, dedicated teachers, bank staff, trustees, and esteemed guests, all of whom showered the graduates with applause and appreciation. The venue itself exuded an atmosphere of importance and intimacy, setting the stage for a memorable occasion.
Alumnus Jeremy Aikins led the event, and the audience was moved by a heartfelt testimony from Rehema, Amir's mother. Mirabel Agyemang, a 2017 alumna, shared her inspirational journey from EYLA to boarding school, urging the graduating cohort to set ambitious goals while staying grounded. Joseph, a recent graduate now attending Christ Hospital School, offered valuable insights into his own boarding school experiences.
The highlight of the evening was Sasha Chege's recitation of an inspiring poem titled It Couldn't Be Done, which beautifully captured the challenges and triumphs that lie ahead for these young leaders. In her closing remarks, Miss Carol charged each scholar to embrace hope while cherishing their history. The celebration was enhanced by exquisite cuisine, and our heartfelt thanks go out to the dedicated catering team.
