TOTAL INVOLVEMENT FOR HIGHER HEIGHTS
BATAAS includes former students from ETC, PTTC, P.S.S. Mbengwi, PSS Batibo, and PHS Batibo. The association welcomes anyone who has lived on Guka Hill for a minimum of one year, irrespective of their educational completion at that campus. Aligned with the overarching mission, BATAANS unite to celebrate their shared heritage, utilize their resources, explore ways to attain the vision they have for their Alma Mater, and implement projects aimed at sustaining P.H.S. Batibo's reputation as one of the premier educational institutions in Cameroon, thus providing support to an institution that established a strong foundation and instilled in them the discipline, knowledge, and survival skills essential to becoming who they are today. BATAANS also look inwardly, by providing mutual assistance to each other, act as mentors to young Bataans, as well as current students at P.H.S. Batibo. The alma mater also carries out projects that are beneficial to all its members, such as operating a microfinance institution (BATSCCUL) can foster the growth of its members, affiliates and the general public. Bataans regroup regularly in different branches in Cameroon and abroad. At the moment, there are 13 active branches. Classmates also come together to share their experiences and relive their experiences on campus Each year, there is an Annual General Meeting bring together all the Branches in order to take stock of the activities of the past year and plan for the future. This meeting is usually hosted by a Bataan branch. During the AGM, funds are raised to carry out projects on campus geared towards making life easy and comfortable for current students.
As alumni, our mission is to meet regularly, reconnect, strategize and fundraise to plough back to our alma mater.
Our vision is to see PHS Batibo re-emerge as one of the reference Secondary Schools in the NWR and, why not, Cameroon at large.
Support the award fund for outstanding students and help us recognize exceptional achievement.

Guka Hill strikingly stands out as one of the magnificent hills along the Bali-Widikum road. These hills mark out an undulating scenery that culminates in the spectacular Bamenda Highlands. Until the late nineteen forties, the hill was covered with green savannah grass and deciduous trees, including raffia palms. This feature made it a haven for reptiles, porcupines, squirrels and other animals that relish the savannah vegetation.
In 1949, the Basel missionaries started the first Basel Mission secondary educational institution in the then Southern Cameroons, named Elementary Teachers College (ETC) Batibo. It was created and opened to train teachers for the numerous primary schools which the Basel mission had opened in different parts of Southern Cameroon. The opening of ETC in Batibo provided the opportunity to receive training to become professional teachers at the Grade III level.
In 1961, after Southern Cameroons took the option for a federated state with East Cameroon, the mission and the state of West Cameroon realized there were very few Grade II teachers in the field. The Elementary Teachers College in Batibo was upgraded to a Higher Elementary Teachers Training College in 1964, training Grade III and Grade II teachers to manage West Cameroon primary education.
In September 1973, the Presbyterian Secondary School (PSS) Batibo was established with Mr. Zachariah Memoh as its first principal. Students from PSS Mbengwi were transferred to the newly created PSS Batibo, and the campus in Mbengwi was closed.
In 1988, P.S.S. Batibo was upgraded to a high school and renamed Presbyterian High School (P.H.S), Batibo. This marks the long journey of the nursery of wisdom on Guka Hill, and Bataans are a testament to total involvement for higher heights.

It is for this reason that Bataans took upon themselves to guarantee a steady supply of water on Guka Hil. We are grateful to one of our most distinguished Bataan, who personally accepted the responsibility of ensuring that this project is completed in a short amount of time by his extremely kind financial gift. Bataans will always be appreciative of you.
Congratulations to Bataas USA for this incredible initiative, which marks merely the start of a larger plan to restore the PHS campus not only to its former glory but also to elevate it among the finest campuses in the nation. Bataans worldwide will unite in support of Bataas USA to make this vision a reality.
Bataans are dedicated to making campus life better. Our next initiative is to electrify the campus with solar power so that staff and students have a steady source of electricity all year long. This is essential to maintaining a comfortable learning environment and a high standard of living on campus. The ongoing borehole project, which needs energy to pump water throughout the campus, will also be made easier by this initiative.
