Spirituality got a great boost with well-designed and painstakingly implemented structures that are geared towards making every member of the Grammar School Family - a sure citizen of heaven.
We could not have been better blessed by a loving generous God. There was resurgence in the academic horizon. School results again became a source of hope, morals picked up' and the tone changed.
The school began a fresh ascendancy to its glorious pinnacle albeit on a gradual note. The school produced the "One-day Lagos State Governor" in the person of Emmanuel Aiyenitaju who, by winning the prestigious first prize in a "Spelling Bee" competition for Lagos Secondary Schools launched the school back to the map of prominence.
Spirituality got a sound replanting initiative and the school, again became thirsty for the things of the spirit. It is hoped that with unrelenting efforts and unceasing prayers, we would be able to consolidate these fresh efforts aimed at regaining the process of return to the good old days, and from thence soar even higher up and on. Indeed, in its one hundred and fifty two years life-span, the school may have been said to have recorded many 'firsts' and produced many of Nigeria's distinguished sons in almost all the facets of the nation's life: Old Grammarians have, true-to-type attained commanding positions in business, law, medicine, banking, insurance, engineering, construction, academics, broadcasting, politics, sports, religion, performing arts, education, diplomacy, architecture and planning; we have just begun!
Perhaps at the conclusion of the next decade from now, it will be most convenient to do another status-evaluation, to assess the levels to which the School has been taken within these few years of the return and take-over.
Restoring the School to its old glory has been a herculean task. But, it is a task that all are determined to complete. God indeed is working His purpose out, and before long those plans shall ripen fast.
The bud now may have a bitter taste; but it is certain that "Sweet will be the flower". Remember Me. Member Login. Remember Me Forgot your password?
