About Drobo Senior High
Drobo Senior High, commonly known as DROSEC, officially opened on 21 January 1966 in Drobo. The school developed into a mixed day-and-boarding school serving Jaman South and surrounding communities.
Its motto, Discendo et Laborando Vivimus, links learning with work. That is a useful way to think about SHS itself: knowledge matters, but so do effort, practice and the discipline to keep using what you learn.
Students at DROSEC can choose Agricultural Science, Business, General Arts, General Science, Home Economics and Visual Arts, with the programme pages showing what each choice covers.

History
Drobo Senior High officially opened on Friday, 21 January 1966, with Mr. Asiedu Boakui as its first headmaster.
The school history places DROSEC in Drobo in the Jaman South area and records the motto Discendo et Laborando Vivimus.
From that beginning, the school grew into a major public senior high school serving both day students and boarders.
DROSEC's story is straightforward but important: a school established in the 1960s became part of the educational backbone of a district that needed reliable second-cycle access close to home.
Academics
The academic options at Drobo Senior High cover Agricultural Science, Business, General Arts, General Science, Home Economics and Visual Arts.
The school's mission has historically placed particular emphasis on Science and ICT, but your programme decision should still begin with the subjects required for your own plans.
The Agricultural Science guide shows what students study in that option at DROSEC.

Facilities
GES school profiles list science laboratories, Home Economics laboratories, a Visual Arts laboratory, ICT laboratories, a dining hall and an assembly hall among DROSEC's facilities.
Infrastructure has continued to expand. A Ghana News Agency report documented work on a large girls' dormitory project at the school.
Student Life
DROSEC students take part in sport, clubs, academic competitions and leadership activities alongside their formal lessons.
The school's Science and ICT emphasis has also given students a reason to think about learning as something practical rather than purely theoretical.
The motto Discendo et Laborando Vivimus fits that culture because it pairs learning with work instead of treating knowledge as something complete on its own.
Accommodation
Both day students and boarders attend Drobo Senior High. At DROSEC, boarders remain on campus after lessons while day students travel home.
