Prempeh College, arguably the best school in Ghana now has for the fourth time won the National Science and Maths Quiz which is held annually. This competition dubbed 'Uefa Champions League of Ghana schools' has seen amazing performances from students across Ghana.
Prempeh College started by beating St Louis shs from Kumasi, went on to humiliate GSTS(past winner of the competition) with over 40 points margin in the quarters. Additionally setting a record with 82 points for the highest win in the new format of the competition. Daniel and Wonder went on to revenge on Mfantsipim school who defeated Prempeh College a year ago
.
Prempeh College then made it to the finals alongside two past winners; Adisadel College(2016), St Thomas Aquinas(2013). And as usual...always a done deal whenever they make it to the finals.
Ultimately Clinching the trophy with 53 points, beating their nearest rival by two points.

Prempeh College: 53 points
St Thomas Aquinas: 51
Adisadel |College: 31

A NEW RECORD....A FOURTH TROPHY???

Prempeh College has once again been the talk of the Town as they handed a hefty defeat to their opponents in the ongoing 2017 National science and maths quiz. The three-time NSMQ champions, crushed 2012 NSMQ winners, GSTS and debutants, Aduman SHS in the fourth quarterfinal contest to qualify for the semi-final of the 2017 National Science & Maths Quiz.

The Ashanti region powerhouse put up a masterful performance to end the competition with 82 points which now holds the record as the biggest win in the new NSMQ format... whilst GSTS and Aduman SHS only managed to pull 39 and 31 points respectively there by creating a 43-point margin.
It is rumoured that GSTS begged the quiz mistress, Dr. Elsie Kauffman to end the contest before the final round as there was no way they could have staged a comeback but only end up intensifying their humiliation.

Prempeh College staged a similar performance in 2015 with 80 points against Pope John's which was then the record and went on to win the trophy. Just two years later, they've broken their own record and set a new one. The question now is... Will history repeats itself?? Will they go on to win the trophy?

What do you think?

Don't forget to share your comments.

BRIEF ACCOUNT ON PAST HEADMASTERS OF PREMPEH COLLEGE.

 BRIEF ACCOUNT ON PAST HEADMASTERS OF PREMPEH COLLEGE.

The College has been under the watch of 11 headmasters since it was founded some sixty-seven years ago. As part of our maiden AMANFOO festivities this August, I want to use this advantageous opportunity to eulogise the past Headmasters, through whose invaluable contributions, Prempeh College has been in the spotlight as one of the top second cycle institutions in the country.

The first or founding Headmaster, Reverend Sidney Nelson Pearson (1949-1953) in his four year term, set the trail blazing by making discipline and academic work his principal preoccupation. Majority of the permanent buildings were constructed and in use before he left. Rev. Pearson is said to have built Prempeh College, physically, educationally, and morally. 

His successor Mr. T. C Sims (1954-1958), proved himself to be an effective school administrator as well as a level headed man. He is credited with the formation of Cadet Corp in 1955. Rear Admiral Ohene-Kwapong and a host of others who joined the Corps rose to become distinguished commissioned officers in the Ghana Armed Forces. Sixth form was introduced during his era as Headmaster.

The two last expatriate Headmasters Rev. A.D Lewis (1958-1960) and Mr. Arthur Clark (1961-1963) apart from presiding over further physical development are also said to have established a system of administration which became a model for their successors. The former was called 'Osiadan' ( He built nine staff bungalows in two years) while the latter was called 'Oyeafuo' for the cultivation of large farms. At the end of this era a sound foundation was laid and Prempeh College was on course for continued progress.

Dr. T. A. Osae (1963-1976) the first African headmaster, brought the work of his predecessors to fruition and built on it. Under him Prempeh College was placed on a high pedestal, beating key schools academically for ten consecutive years, producing more students for the medical school than any other school and becoming National Athletics Champions. He is mostly fondly remembered by AMANFOO, and no wonder the fraternity have instituted the annual Pearson-Osae Appreciation Lecture in honour of the main pivots of Prempeh College's success story.

Mr. M. K. Atiemo (1977-1984). His period as Headmaster unfortunately coincided with bad economic difficulties that confronted the nation, especially between 1980 and 1983. Exodus of teachers as well as shortages in essential inputs for teaching and learning negatively impacted on academic work to the extent that there was a fall in standards. Interestingly, just after he was transferred to headquarters in 1984, Prempeh College produced the best "A" level results in the country in 1985.

Between 1985-1995 when Mr. R. T. Sackey held the mantle of headship, there was a remarkable recovery, as Government gradually released funds for rehabilitation of the College. Dormitories as well as main classroom blocks and staff bungalows were renovated. Academic work improved significantly, with Prempeh College winning the maiden edition of National Science & Maths Quiz in 1994. Mr. Sackey is credited with writing the lyrics for the current College Anthem. After what is described as "The Long Interregnum" (1995-1998), which saw two Acting Headmasters Mr. Twumasi Amponsah and Mr. Fred Asamoah - Mr. Ebenezer Afoakwa Sekyere took over as substantive Headmaster in 1998. He's well known as "Sadam" , "Boss" and "Millennium Headmaster" , he ensured that the campus resumed its traditional orderliness and general state of cleanliness and embarked on the beautification of the compound. Academic excellence peaked in 2000 when overall best WAEC student and the best Science student was won by a student of the College.

Mr. A. Owusu-Achiaw (2002-2009) took over from Mr. Afoakwa Sekyere and continued with his good works. Academic excellence was maintained, and in some few years back, Prempeh College had matriculated over 400 students KNUST alone, not to mention other universities. The College won the National Debate in 2004. He also initiated the building of a new Assembly Hall Complex and an 18 unit classroom block among other projects.

Mr. Emmanuel K. Yeboah (2009-2015). He's the immediate past Headmaster whose term of office came to an end in 2015 after he chalked so many victories which includes the long drought of National Science and Maths Quiz, National Robotics Champions, Hockey Champions, Umpteenth Interco, Milo Soccer Champions and many others are his laurels. He also recorded close to twenty 8As and several 7As in 2012 WASSCE.

And now is the turn of the current Headmaster in the person of Mr. Samuel Fordjour (2015- up to date). He has been in office for less than six months and can boast of World Robotics Champions in Michigan (May 2016). From this note of his beginning, I can conclude that the future is bright.
It is clear from the forgone that the Past Headmasters have gone through thick and thin and done a yeoman's job of bringing Prempeh College to this enviable position as one of the best second cycle institutions in the country and deserve to be honoured. Thank you!
