The Astro turf replaces the sandy pitch on which Gyan learnt his art.
The all-time highest scorer for the Black Stars with 51 goals, Gyan will be happy to commission the Astro turf in a school that played a great role in his great career.
The project comprises a 3,000 meter artificial turf which was imported from Turkey.
It will be a great facility for a school that believes in holistic education by developing both talents and brains at the same time.
The 31-year-old joined Turkish side Kayserispor earlier last week on a two-year deal with the option of a further one year.
