History
History
The school was built by Kwame Nkrumah in commemoration of the profound and significant role played by the women of Saltpond in the nation's struggle for independence. Formerly known as Saltpond Girls' School, this institution was founded with the purpose of providing relevant education at the second-cycle level for girls. The aim was to equip them with essential skills that would enable them to harness their potential and contribute productively to society. This initiative aimed to facilitate poverty alleviation, foster socio-economic growth, and contribute to the overall development of the nation. Mfantsiman Girls Secondary School officially opened on the 30th of September, 1960, as one of the renowned Ghana Education Trust (GET) Schools. It was claimed that the school selected 70 girls from the Common Entrance Examination, who became the first batch of the school with Beatrice Chinery as the first headmistress. The school commenced as a dedicated girls' institution, offering educational pathways that led students through the General Certificate of Education – Ordinary Level (G.C.E. 'O' Level) curriculum. Over time, the institution expanded its offerings to include the School Certificate / General Certificate of Education – Ordinary & Advanced Levels (SSCE/GCE 'O' & 'A' Levels) Examinations, as well as the Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (SSSCE) and the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
