History of Labone Senior High
In 1949, six illustrious sons of our country saw the need to establish an educational institution to cater for the educational needs of the young people staying around Osu, La and its environs. A private school was therefore established at Ako Adjei Area.
At Independence, the first President of Ghana, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah in line with his lofty ideas on rapid socio economic development embarked on a widespread expansion of educational facilities. In view of that the Ghana Education Trust Fund was instituted and charged with the construction of school buildings throughout the country. LABONE SENIOR HIGH was one of such schools.
THE CREST OF LABONE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL-COMPOSITION, MEANING AND SYMBOLISM
The crest was designed by Nii Amon Kotei a senior citizen and national award winner who also designed the Ghana coat of arms. The crest of the school is a shield divided into four quarters with strong fishing rope running horizontally and vertically. Each of the four quarters carries an appropriate motive;
Top right-hand corner -> The early appearance of the SUN in the East: This depicts "Make hay while the sun shines"
Top left-hand quarter -> A crossed pen and torch light on an open book: this depicts "the pen is mightier than the sword"
The bottom left-hand quarter -> A crossed pick axe and cutlass: This depicts "Dignity in labour"
The bottom left hand quarter -> The oil palm tree is a wonder plant which symbolizes usefulness and productivity (Labone Senior High School students should therefore be productive and useful in all aspects of life, wherever they find themselves).
