About Agogo State College

Agogo State Senior High School was established as a private institution in 1963 with twenty-eight students. The founding fathers aimed at following the principles of Prempeh College hence the popular name Agogo State College. As a result of the need for expansion, Agogo citizens voluntarily gave their farm lands and funds surcharged from cocoa proceeds towards the development of the new site. The school was absorbed into the public system in 1970.
