Our History
From a humble beginning of twenty-five students on rented premises, it has grown into one large formidable institution of learning whose name reverberates in both national and international circles, far beyond the wildest dreams and visions of the founding fathers.
The Beginning
Some prominent personalities were commissioned to start a day institution that would serve as a catchment school for the hosts of elementary schools scattered all over this area of the country. The school started with Mr. Nathan Quao as its founding headmaster, in a rented house just opposite the premises of the present Electricity Company, Dzelukope.
Initial location: House of the Kudzawus (remained for 8 years)Presidential Visit & New Site
On November 4th, 1960, Mr. K.A. Gbedemah, the then Minister of Finance, visited the present site and laid the foundation stone for the building of some school blocks.
Presidential Legacy
The then President of the Republic, the great Dr. Kwame Nkrumah himself adorned the scenery of the compound with a visit during which he planted an Indian almond tree that still stands as a historical monument and provides a comforting shade near the present Assistant Headmaster's bungalow.
Moving to Permanent Site
A group of students in Forms Two and Four moved from the old to the present site. The site accommodated one classroom block, an administration block, an assembly hall, and science laboratory. The rest of the students followed a year later.
Introduction of Boarding & Sixth Form
The first batch of Sixth Form pupils comprising 28 boys and 3 girls was admitted. That decision brought in its wake the introduction of boarding facilities. Ever since, the school has admitted both day and boarding students.
Construction Approval
Approval for the new site came when Mr. J.W. Abruquah was the headmaster and Mr. C.H. Chapman was the Regional Commissioner for the Volta Region and a member of the school's Board of Governors. The Ghana Education Trust Fund, established by the Kwame Nkrumah government, took over the construction of the buildings after negotiations led by Board Chairman Rev. Dr. F.K. Fiawoo.
