History
Kumasi High School entrance

Kumasi High School started as a private institution called Kwame Nkrumah Secondary School under the initiative of S. K. Amoah. In 1963, the School moved to Kwadaso in Kumasi from Asuoyeboa and occupied rented premises.

In 1965–66 academic year, Amoah's school was absorbed by the government and became a public institution, with same name as Kwame Nkrumah Secondary School. The school then moved to Kwadaso, another rented premises owned by P. K. Mensah, a contractor whose son was then a student of the school. Albert Appiah, who was then a tutor at Prempeh College, was appointed as the first Headmaster of the school. The aftermath of the 1966 military coup d'état that ousted President Nkrumah's regime saw the school's name being changed to the present name, Kumasi High School. The school was a mixed institution and during the 1966/67 academic year, the female students were transferred to Kumasi Girls Secondary School (KUGISS). Thus, paving the way for a boys' school.

In 1977 it moved to occupy its permanent site at Gyinyase, a suburb of Kumasi. In 1978/79 academic year, the school was authorised to run Sixth Form courses in Business, Arts and General Science. The school has witnessed major transformations and academic successes and is currently running the Senior High School system.

gollark: Yes. You can observe people doing mourning and its effect on their behaviour and such. You can observe the effect of *belief in* the afterlife, but not the afterlife itself unless you have a model of it which is actually... interactable with.
gollark: If there's no way to actually detect or interact with it, i.e. it existing is indistinguishable from it not existing, the question of "does it exist" is not very meaningful.
gollark: You can use advanced "multiplication" technology to compute "expected value".
gollark: Ah, but it has a probability of still existing.
gollark: What do you mean "a priori"? Just come up with some ridiculous """pure logical proof""" that the afterlife exists regardless of observations of it?
