St. Thomas Aquinas Senior High School is a Ghanaian public day senior high school for boys in the Osu district of Accra in the Greater Accra Region. It was established in 1952. The school is currently located in Cantonments, a suburb of Accra. It was established to provide education for boys of the Accra Archdiocese of the Catholic church whose parents could not afford the cost of sending their male children to expensive boarding schools.
Location
In September 1963, the school relocated to its present, permanent site at Cantonment Street, Osu.
The school is situated opposite the European Union office and the Civil Service Training School, laying between the Cantonment Police Station to its south and the Embassy of Togo to its north, with close proximity to the prime area of the commercial and administrative hub of Osu's Oxford Street.
History
On January 15, 1952, Catholic missionaries founded the Saint Thomas Aquinas Secondary School in the Greater Accra Region on the current site of St. Peter's Catholic Church.
In order to educate boys in the Catholic tradition, Roman Catholic missionaries were in the forefront in the establishment of schools throughout Ghana. The Most Rev. Adolph Alexander Noser, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Accra, established the school with a small enrollment of fifty pupils in a two-story home near the seashore in Osu-Anohor.
Three Society of the Divine Word (SVD) Reverend Fathers made up the initial staff: Father George Wilson and Father Fisher, Mr. Augustine Adu, Father Paul Baddoo, and the first headmaster, Father Alphonse Elsbernd. Thirty-one students and eight staff members attended the school when Father Clement Hotze assumed headmaster duties in March 1954. Hotze was aware that two key initiatives were necessary for the school to grow properly: government support and West African Examinations Council approval. Even after his efforts were acknowledged in January and April of 1957, he never got weary of working on these initiatives.
After Rev. Father John McKillip took over as headmaster in 1957, the school was authorized by the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) to submit candidates for the Ordinary Level Examination. Fr. Hotze had a 100% pass record when he submitted the first candidate for the School Certificate Examination in November 1955; this was a point in his crown because just one applicant was presented and one of them passed.
Academics
The school runs nine streams and five academic programmes.
