Location

The school can be located on the Kumasi-Mampong Highway. It is 40 kilometres (25 miles) from Kumasi and lies on a hilly area thus the area is always cold. It is bounded on the north by the Ghana Highways Authority, Mampong; on the south by the Mampong Municipal Hospital; on the east by Mampong Babies' Home; and on the west by the Ejura-Mampong Highway.

History

The school's history is traced to Rt Rev John Orfeur Aglionby, the Anglican Bishop of the Gold Coast whose missionary work birthed the Convent of Our Lady and Saint Monica.

In 1926, the bishop invited the sisters of the Order of the Holy Paraclete (England) to set up a school for girl-child education. In 1946, St Monica's Secondary School in Mampong was established as a separate institution from the Teacher Training College.[2]
