The School that started with eight students in the house of DS Quarcoopome’s residence at the Beach Road is now the school whose 90^th birthday we are celebrating with over 1800 students.

Accra High School was the first secondary school in Eastern Province of Gold Coast. It was the only school then with a school magazine to spread intellectual light in to community.

The only school with a school motto “Redimentes Opportunitatem” which translates (Make Hay while the sun shines), a song on the same theme, written by Rev. Roberts who designed the school crest, and also chose the school uniform; black and white.
