Nungua Senior High

Nungua Senior High

The idea of establishing the first secondary school in Nungua was conceived in the year 1958 by Nii Quaye Tawiah, popularly known as Quaye Nungua, a prominent entrepreneur and significant son of that town.

In that very year, his 15-year-old son, Master Enoch Otu Quaye, who was being mentored by Mr. E. J. Klufio, the Headmaster of the Presbyterian Secondary School, Odumase Krobo, and a Form 1 student in that School, had to be recalled home and installed a Chief of Nungua, i.e., Nungua Mantse with the stool name – Nii Odai Ayiku IV. The exigencies of this new role required that this young Chief would have to stay at Nungua to readily avail himself of Chieftaincy duties. However, this young lad had a great desire for academic honors and insisted that he be allowed to continue and complete his Secondary education.

His father consented but, rather than sending him back to Krobo Odumase, he decided to establish a local Secondary School at Nungua, his hometown, where Mantse Nii Odai Ayiku, IV, could pursue his academic studies and also be readily available for chieftaincy affairs and duties.

Within two years of his resolve, Nii Quaye Nungua had made swift sustainable preparations and converted into a Secondary School his multi-unit building complex on his then large residential compound, equipped with its own electricity generator, the only one in the town. That building complex, which later became the girls’ dormitory in nearly its original form, had previously been used by the Government to train teachers for Secondary and other Schools across Ghana. Thus began the journey of the first secondary school ever to be established in the Nungua Township.
