About Mpraeso Senior High

Mpraeso Senior High sits on the Kwahu Ridge and traces its beginning to 1961, when it was established as one of the Ghana Education Trust schools created during the First Republic.

Students and old students commonly use the name MPASS. The school motto, Summum Bonum, can be understood as "the highest good," an idea that pushes education beyond passing examinations towards becoming useful and responsible.

The options at MPASS are Agricultural Science, Business, General Arts, General Science, Home Economics and Visual Arts; compare their subjects on the programme pages.

History

MPASS was established in 1961 under the Ghana Education Trust school programme during the First Republic.

A school profile based on Ghana Education Service information identifies the school as a co-educational school serving Mpraeso and the wider Kwahu South area.

The school grew alongside other post-independence trust schools that were designed to widen access to secondary education across the country.

That origin helps explain the scale of MPASS today: it was created as part of a national expansion project, not simply as a small local school that happened to grow.

Facilities

MPASS has classrooms, a library, science and computer laboratories, dormitories and sports spaces, but the school's history also shows how enrolment can put pressure on older facilities.

A district report on school infrastructure described the strain placed on the original dining hall and shortages of beds, desks and dining furniture as the student population expanded.

Student Life

MPASS students take part in sport, clubs, leadership and academic competitions, including the National Science and Maths Quiz and other inter-school events.

Old students often refer to themselves and the school community through the MPASS identity, creating a connection between current students and people who passed through the school decades earlier.
