About Ghana Senior High Technical School

The school was established on 9th August, 1909 by
the colonial government as a pure Technical school,
providinga3-yearcourseinWoodworkandMetalwork.
Due to increased enrolment and the need for more
technical expertise, it was transferred to its current
premises in Takoradi in 1939 and later moved to
Elmina castle in 1940. This was to give way to the
British Royal Air force to use the school.
The school is the first Secondary Technical School in
the country. It started with 19 students. It is interesting
to note that five ladies have passed through the
school. They passed through from 1990 to 1993. They
were among the first batch of the Senior Secondary
Programme. The school’s motto is ‘‘Mente et Menu’’
which means ‘‘With Mind and Hand’’
