History
Nkwanta Senior High was established in 1974 and is the oldest senior high school in Nkwanta South Municipality.
A published school profile records its long-standing role in the municipality and its growth into a mixed day-and-boarding school.
That history gives NKWANSEC a different position from the newer schools around Nkwanta. It has been part of the area's secondary education story for decades.
Academics
Nkwanta Senior High offers Agricultural Science, Business, Home Economics, Visual Arts, General Arts and General Science.
With six programmes, students have a fairly broad choice, but the subjects attached to each option are what matter most when you are thinking about university, technical study or work after SHS.
The school has also been active in sport, giving students another area in which to represent NKWANSEC outside the classroom.
