St. Peter's Senior High School, or PERSCO, is a Roman Catholic boys' senior high school in the Eastern Region of Ghana. The school was established in 1957 by the Divine Word Missionaries (SVD). The school is located in the town of Nkwatia Kwahu on the Kwahu Ridge.

The school has five dormitory blocks housing six houses named after Roman Catholic saints who were associated with Africa or Black people and they are as follows:

• St. Peter Claver House
• St. Martin De Porres House
• St. Eugene De Foucauld House
• St. Kizito House
• St. Augustine House
• St. Charles Lwanga House

The school offers four programs of studies - Visual Arts, General Arts, Science and Business. Until the introduction of the computerized placement system by the government for the placement of junior high graduates into secondary schools, the school conducted placement examinations for its first years.

The placement test was to make sure only the best students were selected to the science programs.
