Agona S.D.A. Senior High History (AGASS)

History of Agona S.D.A. Senior High

Agona S.D.A. Senior High was established on 25th October, 1963 through the resilient efforts of Pastor C. B. Mensah, (the then Ghana Mission President), Nana Kwame Boakye I, (Omanhene of Agona Traditional Area), Mr. Martin Kyeremateng, (a native of Agona). The institution started as a Teacher Training College and its first admission comprised eighty (80) students; sixty (60) boys and twenty (20) girls. It had a total of five (5) staff members.

However, it was converted into a secondary school on October 5th 1972. Mr. L.H. Berlin, a white man was the first Principal of the training college Mr. I. K. Ansong became the Headmaster of the secondary school. The secondary school initial intake was thirty-eight (38) students.

The school operated concurrently at both the old and the new sites for several years. On 1st September, 2011, AGASS was moved finally to the new site because, it had an appreciable level of infrastructure that could accommodate all students.

At its establishment, a few blocks were provided for through the collaboration between the church and the community at a site made available by Nana Kwame Boakye I. The school was confronted with the challenge of accommodation because of its population swell (staff and students).
