DORMITORIES/HOUSES AT OKUAPEMMAN
As a boarding school Okuapemmanl School maintains six houses which
are the mainstay of its students life. Evenly distributed over both
upper (Top Hill) and lower (downhill) campuses are houses whose
historic rootsdefine the self-reliant Okuapemmanl spirit. All the old
dormitory blocks at the upper school were built by students in 1970s Enrolling
students are given the choice of living in one of the six dormitories
that form the house. It is not unusual to find three generations of the
same family having belonged to the same house. Each living organization
has its unique character. Being the units of intramural campus
competition, the Houses promote activities that enhance social bonding
and group pride. The houses are as follows: Opoku Acheampong House, Akuffo House, Kwadade House, Dokua Acheampong House, Dokua Akuffo House, and Dokua Kwadade House.
