Nandom Senior High School
Since 1965, Ghana has been home to the FIC Congregation. Their visit to Ghana was prompted by an invitation from the Late Cardinal Peter Porekuu Dery, Bishop of the Diocese of Wa at the time. In order to promote teaching, education, and youth development, the FIC Brothers founded Nandom Secondary School, which is today Nandom Senior High. St Michael Secondary School was established in Kaleo in 1968. It was relocated to Nandom once the school building was finished.
The Nandom Senior High is a Catholic secondary school for boys, located in Nandom, in the Nandom district of the Upper West Region in Ghana. The school was formerly called St. Michael's Secondary School.[2]
History
[edit]The school was founded in 1968 by the Friars of Immaculate conception (FIC) brothers with an initial number of 38 students and this has risen to 858 in recent periods.[3]
Nandom Senior High School, also known as NANSEC, has enjoyed some glories especially in the period of General Certificate of Education (GCE) Ordinary and Advanced levels. This is evident in the year 1976 when the school witnessed outstanding results.[4]
