In Adisadel College, all work related to the administration sector is overseen by the Assistant Headmistress—Administration. Madam Martha is the personification of her.
Madam Faustina Baidoo (former Assistant headmistress-Administration) has served her years of work at Adisadel College dutifully and is currently on retirement. She is now replaced by another very potent woman who exudes all the necessary qualities and skills to assume her position as the Assistant Headmistress of Adisadel College. She is in the person of Madam Martha, a very lovely, elegant, and exuberant woman—a good mother. We hope and pray that with God on her side, she will help the great institution, Adisadel College, be either the first or with the first, as the school motto suggests, and even become much greater and better.
