It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of James Lutterodt’s passing. James was a remarkable contestant who represented Keta Senior High Technical School (KETASCO) in the National Science and Maths Quiz 2021. Despite the challenges, he played a crucial role in establishing KETASCO as one of the most successful teams in the competition. Tragically, it is reported that he lost his life due to food poisoning.

James had ambitious plans for his future. He was set to pursue further studies at Howard University, following in the footsteps of his fellow contestant, Francisca Lamini, who started her pre-med program at Harvard University. However, his untimely demise has left his family devastated, and they have not yet publicly addressed the news or disclosed the cause of his passing.
As a computer science student at the University of Ghana, Legon, James showed great promise and dedication to his studies. Alongside his teammates, Francisca and Bright Senyo Godzo, he made history as the first school from the Volta Region to reach the finals of the NSMQ. Their achievements continue to inspire and captivate, as they embark on the next chapter of their educational journeys.

Despite the tragedy, their pursuit of knowledge and growth serves as a testament to their resilience and determination.
Our thoughts and condolences go out to James Lutterodt’s family, friends, and the entire KETASCO community during this difficult time. May his memory live on as an inspiration to all those whose lives he touched.
