History[]

The school was established in September 1960 by the Late Rev. Gordon Nii Akwei Quaye of blessed memory with funding from the United States-based Christian Methodist Episcopal Church. The school was initially located, in rented premises, at Asylum Down, near the Kwame Nkrumah Circle.[1] Originally a private institution, it was absorbed into the public educational system in September 1965. The school moved to the present site, in Weija, in September 2009. The school is a co-educational school. In 2021 Yen News listed the school as one of the top ten senior high schools in the Greater Accra area.[2]

In 2015 110 acres of land belonging to the school were the subject of an invasion by squatters.[3] By 2018 only five acres of the 110 acres set aside for the school were available for its use.[4] During the 2020 Ghanaian elections, a polling station at the school was the site of disturbances between supporters of the rival NPP and NDC over an alleged attempt to sway voters by distributing food.[5]
