ABOUT THE FOUNDATION: About F.L Bartels

The first Black Layman to become the head of the school (1949- 1961). He is a living legend. He bequeathed to the school such quantum hope and aspirations and positively impacted the socio-academic image and reputation of the school.

 

His achievement was far above expectation.

 

The bust erected for him is just an infinitesimal of gratitude owed him by the old boys, who schooled here during his time. The Methodist Synod and the nation acknowledge him too.

 

Beneath his bust is the inscription "He sought to make us greater than himself." (Written by students who passed through his hands.)

 

He is a man of international repute, a distinguished diplomat and a proven educationist.
