Students who contest in the NSMQ are often in Form 3, but Stephen made it to the grand finale as a Form 1 boy, along with his two other colleagues, who were final-year students by then.
Stephen and his partner John Kusi won at the one-eighth stage when he contested for his school. They competed against Zion College and Our Lady of Grace.
Opoku Ware School won with 74 points, followed by Zion College and Our Lady of Grace SHS, which scored 32 and 26 points, respectively.
Some people on social media have tipped Stephen Apemah-Baah to lead Opoku Ware School to win the 2024 NSMQ since he has the experience and the intelligence.
