Popular Ghanaian Senior High Schools that produce “bad boys”

Much has been said about the best senior high schools in Ghana. However, there are also some schools which are perceived to have a reputation for producing "bad" boys or "stubborn" guys.

It has never been unusual to hear of students from some Senior High Schools (SHS’s) engaged in one form of truancy or the other.

Most people in society often reminisce about some of the days of truancy at the SHS.

YEN.com.gh brings you a list of SHS schools, whose students are branded as the most mischievous one could come across in Ghana.

1. Adisadel College:

Founded in 1910, it is an Anglican educational institution located in Cape Coast, Ghana.

They won the 2016 Brilliant Science & Maths Quiz, after fighting off challenges from Opoku Ware Senior High School and Mfanstipim Senior High School.

Does their motto influence them? One might certainly think so. Their alliance with Holy Child Senior High School is well-known. Are they “angels”?

Well, that is a matter of personal judgement, as their spirit of perseverance is rumoured to go both ways – for good causes and for the not so good ones.
