The Ghana Secondary Technical School[1][2] is a science and technology-oriented high school located in Takoradi on the west coast of Ghana. It is the third oldest high school in Ghana[3] - the oldest 'non-missionary' high school.[4] The School was founded on 9 August 1909 in Accra[5][6] as Accra Technical School and later changed to Government Technical School. It moved to its current site in Takoradi in 1939.[7] In 1953, the name was changed to Government Secondary Technical School, and in 1970, it was given its current name.[8] Former students of the school are known as Giants, and students in the school are called Tescans.[9]

History

The school was started in 1909 as a pure Technical School [1][10]and was then sited at the former premises of the Accountant General (the current site of Kinbu Secondary Technical School in Accra).[1][5] It was founded in response to the growing demand for technical education in the British colonies at that time.[1]

In 1939, the school was moved to Takoradi. The first head was Mr. T. T. Gilbert.[1][7] The first African head was Mr. J.W.L. Mills, who took up his post in 1958.[1] A sixth-form was introduced in 1961.[1]

The school's name changed from Government Secondary Technical School to Ghana Secondary Technical School in 1970.[1][8]

For a brief period in the mid-nineteen-seventies students were admitted as part of military training. This started with Intake 15 of the then Military Academy and Training Schools.[11] They underwent a combination of regular academic work with intermittent military training during holidays.[12]
