The school crest has three sides: a flat, horizontal top, supported by two vertical/parallel lines that bend and converge at the bottom. The crest depicts three pictures: on the left, a person climbing a tree is being given a good push by a second person standing under the tree; the top right corner shows a pair of compass standing on a wooden drawing board; a hoe and a cutlass that cross each other in the middle occupy the bottom right corner of the crest.
(ii) Motto:
The motto of the school is: “EFOW DUAPA A NNA WOPIA WO”, a Fante proverb which literally translates as “He who climbs a good tree deserves a push”.

4. BRIEF HISTORY OF THE INSTITUTION
(i) Establishment.
Obrachire Senior High Technical School was established in January, 1991 as part of the Ghana Government’s policy to bring education to the doorstep of every Ghanaian child. The school is a co-educational day/boarding institution with a student population of 998.
(ii) Location:
The school is located in Obrachire in the Ewutu-Senya District, in the Central Region. The 50-acre land on which the school is sited was donated by the Obrachire royal family. The school is 25 miles from Agona Swedru (on the west) and three miles from Awutu Bawjiase (on the East). There is a site plan and an indenture covering the land.
(iii) Commencement Of School
• The school started as a community, day school to serve the educational needs of pupils within Obrachire township and the surrounding towns and villages. The initial enrolment was 25 pupils.
• The introduction of the CSSPS, however, changed the complexion of the school, as many other fresh students were brought in from Accra, Koforidua, Assin Fosu, Kumasi and other places.
• The increase in student population from the initial 25 in 1991 to 57 in 1992 to the present figure of 998 students necessitated the changing of the status of the institution from a Day School to a Boarding Institution (this is yet to be officially approved by GES, anyway).
