A community-based institution, the school was established in 1971 as a product of the phasing out of the then Adukrom Teacher Training College by the Ministry of Education (now Ghana Education Service).[clarification needed] The general objective of the change in status was to provide full secondary school education to the growing number of boys and girls, especially those resident around the Okere community who had little chance of receiving secondary level education elsewhere due to shortages of such schools.[2]
Boarding
The school has boarding facilities for both boys and girls. It also has a hostel outside the school for students who could not make it into the boarding house.[3]
The school also has four houses that are students: Gyeke Darko, Air Marshall Otu, Opare Baidoo and Otutu Ababio.
Religious service
The school is a non-denominational institution. There is a complete freedom of worship. Morning assembly and Sunday morning worship must be attended by all irrespective of their religious background.
