- CREST AND MOTTO
- BRIEF HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL
The school started modestly with a population of 52 students and a teaching staff strength of 7 and non-teaching staff strength of 19 in 1991, student population increasing to 73 in 1992, then to 90 in 1993. The teaching staff strength also increased to 10 in 1994.
In 1995, the student population came down to 85: 74 males, 11 females with teaching staff strength of 9. The school offered only agricultural programme. Enrolment took a downward trend reaching 68 in 1995 at the time the school had come under a new headmaster in the person of Mr. Stephen K. Donkor. By 1996, the school application for diversifying its programmes with the aim of attracting students with varying academic interests was approved and Vocational and General Arts were added to the Agricultural programme. However, the school could not implement the running of the additional programmes because of low student enrolment. The school enrolment went down again, reaching 45 in 1997 with teaching staff strength of 5 and non-teaching staff strength of 23.
In 1998, however, the student population picked up to 61; 44 males, 17 females with teaching staff strength of 7. The student population then went down again to 56 in 1998/99 academic year under the new Headmaster, Mr. Amaning Kwarteng. In year 2000, the school management thought it wise to introduce the cafeteria system where food is prepared for the students to buy, since the school was purely a day school with a hostel facility attached.
