Baptist High School Benin Alumni in Diaspora (BHSBAID) was founded on a shared vision: to reconnect old students of Baptist High School Benin living across the globe and to give back to the institution that shaped our early academic and moral foundation. What began as a simple conversation became a purpose-driven movement, officially launched in 2020 following a series of impactful meetings and engagements with alumni from North America, the UK, and Europe.
We envision a thriving global network of Baptist High School alumni, united in our pursuit of excellence, mutual support, and collective progress. Through our efforts, we aim to make a positive impact on our alma mater, communities and inspire future generations.
BHSBAID aims to foster a sense of community, promote cultural heritage, and support the growth and development of our alma mater. We strive to create opportunities for networking, mentorship, and collaboration among members.
Baptist High School Benin was founded as a school to cater for the needs of student whose schools were occupied by Biafran soldiers in 1967 during the Nigeria civil war. These students were hurriedly sent home by their school authorities, in the lbo speaking area of the then mid-west region, in most cases without having the opportunity of travelling home with their books, clothes and mattresses. In the state of despondency and the hopelessness of the displaced students, the then military administrator of Mid-West region Col. Samuel Osaigbovo Ogbemudia, caused an announcement to be made by Chief E.K. Clerk who was then Education Commissioner, for the affected students to report in Baptist High School. Following that announcement, the affected student reported at the defunct Baptist Teachers Training College, along West Circular Road, Benin City on September 1967, which was during the third term of the school calendar year. The school had no co-educational in order to accommodate boys and girls whose schools were occupied by the Biafran troops.

In 2022, BHSBAID hosted an exciting raffle draw fundraiser with a grand prize of a car donated to the organization — all in support of its mission to provide life-changing scholarships to deserving students in Nigeria.
The event brought together alumni, supporters, and friends of Baptist High School Benin in a spirited show of generosity and community impact. Each ticket purchased was more than a chance to win — it was a direct investment in a student’s future.
Thanks to your support, the fundraiser raised significant funds that helped cover tuition, materials, and academic support for multiple scholarship recipients.
