History
Dzodze Penyi Senior High was established on 25 October 1963 as a boys' teacher training college.
Government policy later phased out the training college, and the institution was converted into a secondary school in the early 1970s.
A school profile records the transition and the land expansion that helped give the school a permanent site.
Academics
DZOSEC offers Agricultural Science, Business, Home Economics, Visual Arts, General Arts and General Science.
The school has a long science tradition and also supports creative and practical programmes through Visual Arts and Home Economics.
If General Science is your likely choice, compare the elective subjects with the requirements of the tertiary programmes you may want later.
