How we got started
ZBGSS Logo
ZBGSS Logo
The ZBGSS logo is a combination of an Adinkra symbol from the Akan tribe of Ghana and our identity. The Adinkra symbol is NEA ONNIM NO SUA A, OHU which literally means "He who does not know can know from learning."
It is a symbol of knowledge, life-long education and the continued quest for knowledge.ย
