Twene Amanfo Senior High/Technical School

BRIEF HISTORY
What is now Twene Amanfo Senior High/Technical School was commissioned as Sunyani Government School for Primary and Middle levels on 11th January, 1930 by Sir John Maxwell the then Colonial Administrator for Ashanti West.

In 1960, the school was renamed Sunyani High Street Primary and Middle Schools to cater for the increasing number of pupils. Following the 1971 Education Reform Programme, the school was turned into a continuation school and later became the first Experimental Junior Secondary School in Brong Ahafo.

On 1st September 1981, Sunyani High Street Experimental Junior Secondary School was upgraded to Senior Secondary School status and named Sunyani Day Secondary School. Following an appeal made by the Parent-Teacher Association to the Director-General of Education and the Commissioner of Education. The first headmaster was Mr. David A. Amankwaa.

At a colourful durbar in 1986, the Sunyani Traditional Council headed by the paramount Chief Nana Bosoma Nkrawiri and the Ghana Education Service renamed the School Twene Amanfo Secondary School after the second chief of the Sunyani Traditional Area. Mr. S. C. Gyamfih became the headmaster after Mr. David A. Amankwaa in 1991.

In September 1996, Mr. J. R. Agyemang Badu took over the baton of office as headmaster of the school, under his administration the school made great improvements in academic work, sports, enrolment and infrastructural development. Miss Georgina Boakye took over the administration of the school in 2003 and since then the school has seen great expansion in student enrolment, teaching and non-teaching, infrastructure and teaching learning/facilities.

That is a centre of learning excellence where the academic technical/Vocational sporting and other talents are developed to their highest limits possible.
Whose graduates will compete favorably with others from similar educational institutions for admission to tertiary institutions, not only in Ghana but also in other parts of the world or for placement in business and other organizations.
With modern and suitable/appropriate teaching and learning facilities that will attract the best staff and students.
That provides residential accommodation as affordable rent for her staff and gives them other incentives to boost their morale to make the vision of bringing the school to a level of excellence achievable.
