About Agate Community Senior High
Agate Community Senior High began as a private community secondary school in 1983 and entered the public system in 1991. That background still matters because the school grew from a local effort to create a serious second-cycle option for young people in and around Agate.
Agate SHS has Agricultural Science, Business, General Arts, Home Economics and Visual Arts, and the programme pages can help you compare the subject combinations.

History
Agate Community Senior High was founded in 1983 as a private community secondary school. It was later absorbed into the public system in January 1991.
A school profile places that development in the wider effort to expand secondary education in the Afadzato South area.
The community origin is important because the school was not created as an abstract national project. It grew out of a local demand for secondary education closer to home.
