context_page_description: An alumnus of the Accra Academy is referred to as a Bleoobi. Article 4 of the constitution of the Accra Academy Old Boys' Association sets the parameters for joining the association as follows:
  1. Membership of the association shall in general be open to all past students of the Accra Academy since its foundation on 20th July, 1931.
  2. A past student of the Accra Academy qualifies for admission into the membership of the association if he has attended the school for at least one year.
  Mrs. Beatrice Abla Lokko, the first headmistress of the academy, was not enrolled at the school but was nevertheless a paid up member of the association. Charles McArther Emmanuel a.k.a. Chuckie Taylor, son to former Liberian President Charles Taylor, was enrolled at the academy but later dismissed by administrators on grounds of possessing drugs and weapons.
