History
History
The school was started as Konongo Odumasi Secondary School but was renamed Konongo Odumase Senior High School around 2005 when the Kufuor government decided to redesignate all senior secondary schools in the country as senior high schools. This was as part of the "Accelerated Development Plan for Education" started after Kwame Nkrumah's Convention People's Party won the 1951 Gold Coast legislative election. Two important teachers at the inception of the school were D. A. Agyei and B. Spio-Garbrah. The school moved to its current permanent site in 1963. The original school site was nicknamed Biafra, after the secessionist state of Biafra associated with the Nigerian Civil War. The school expanded to include a Sixth form, running Advanced level courses in the 1965 / 1966 academic year. The school crest was designed by B. Spio Garbrah, the first headmaster and also an artist. The first head boy of the school was S. K Obeng. Konongo Odumasi Senior High School moved from Category B to Category A after the 2023 WASSCE exam.
