About Peki Senior High
Peki Senior High, commonly known as PESCO, was established in 1957 and has a particularly strong connection to agricultural education. The school has long treated agriculture as more than one programme among many, using it as part of its wider identity.
PESCO is a mixed day-and-boarding school in South Dayi. Its long history and agricultural focus sit alongside a broad modern programme list.
PESCO has Agricultural Science, Business, General Arts, General Science, Home Economics and Visual Arts, and the programme pages can help you compare the subject combinations.

History
Peki Senior High was established in 1957 and has developed into one of the older secondary schools in the Volta Region.
A school profile drawing on Ghana Education Service information records the 1957 establishment and the school's long-standing emphasis on agricultural education.
The school is separate from Peki Senior High Technical School, which has a different school code and history. That distinction matters when you are checking programmes, admissions or school records.
PESCO's agricultural identity gives its history a clear thread: the school has spent decades trying to make education relevant to both academic progression and the productive life of the communities around it.

Admissions & Entry Guidance
Applications to Peki Senior High go through the national placement system after BECE. Check the subjects in Agricultural Science, Business, General Arts, General Science, Home Economics and Visual Arts before putting PESCO on your list.
Because Peki has both PESCO and a separate senior high technical school, check the exact school name and code when making your selection so you do not confuse two different schools.
When placements are released, check your PESCO result on the CSSPS website and note whether it says day or boarding.
School placement is managed through CSSPS.
Facilities
PESCO's infrastructure has been a recurring concern as enrolment and boarding needs have grown.
A 2026 report on PESCOSA discussions highlighted the need to complete the dining hall and add dormitories, classroom blocks, an ICT laboratory and school vehicles.
The South Dayi District Assembly has also reported renewed work on the dining-hall complex.
Student Life
PESCOSA, the old-student association, remains visibly involved in the school's development and is preparing around the school's 70th-anniversary period.
Students take part in agriculture, sport, clubs, leadership and academic activities, giving school life a practical dimension beyond the formal timetable.
Accommodation
Peki Senior High has both day and boarding students. Boarders at PESCO stay on campus for meals and evening study, while day students go home after school activities.
The school's history of dormitory pressure shows why residential capacity is more than a line in a prospectus. It affects where students sleep, how crowded houses become and how smoothly the school day begins and ends.
Your PESCO placement will tell you whether you are joining as a boarder or a day student.
