Beyond the academic strides, it is a great deal of excitement full of good memories for one to have gone through senior high school, partly because of the diversity of our Ghanaian culture and experiences one is exposed to.

In Ghana, there are some senior high schools that are called colleges though they are fully-fledged high schools running the secondary school curriculum. In fact, it is believed, especially among the known schools, that there is swag and good feel factor when the word college is attached to the pronunciation of the school’s name.

Some people say, listen to how the quiz mistress of the national science and maths quiz mentions the name of the schools with colleges during a contest, it brings out the uniqueness.

Next is the list of the 12 public senior high schools also known as colleges:

1. Bishop Herman College
2. Adisadel College
3. Prempeh College
4. St. Augustine College
5. Ghana National College
6. Agogo State College
7. Okumfuo Osei Tutu II College
8. Assin State College
9. Abuakwa State College
10. Sekondi College
11. Abeadze State College
12. College of Music Senior High

There are about 41 Private Senior High Schools that are also called and referred to by name as colleges which we present in another article.

These senior high school-colleges should not be mistaken for Colleges of Education, which are mainly teacher training institutions in Ghana.
