History

Accra Girls High School was one of the Ghana Educational Trust Schools when it opened in 1960. The Ghana Educational Trust School has been around since the 1950s and 1960s. Marked by Kwame Nkrumah.

Since there were not many schools, not many people were educated. A situation that doesn’t fit with who we are as a country.

So, it was important to improve education so that people could live honorable and morally right lives while also meeting the country’s labor needs so that the country could grow.

The government has started an accelerated development plan for education to improve the infrastructure of state-funded schools. In order to reach this goal, the Education Trust was set up.

With the money, several elementary and middle schools, like the Accra Girls High School, were built. The school opened on September 30, 1960, with Miss Branch of Gibson as its first teacher.

At first, she had 12 students. After a few months, that number grew to 42, then to 75, and then to 5 teachers. Mrs. Paulina Bachmann Eileen Darkwar and wife Blanche Gibson.

Even though the school doesn’t have enough money or people, it has made a conscious effort to use what it does have to get to a higher level.
