For over eight decades, PRESEC has focused on academic achievement, character building, leadership, and discipline. Management stated that any narrative contrary to this legacy is a distortion of the school’s true identity and guiding principles.

PRESEC also emphasised its numerous academic accomplishments, including multiple National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ) victories. It noted that the school has produced exceptional individuals who have made significant contributions in public service, science, commerce, religion, and civic life.
Management added that Serwaa Amihere’s remarks were not only false but also harmful, as they unfairly labelled students, exposing them to potential mockery, discrimination, and emotional harm—while attempting to tarnish the school's brand.
The school firmly stated that it would neither tolerate nor normalise slanderous commentary targeting its community. Management concluded by expressing gratitude to parents, alumni, students, and the general public for their continued trust and support. They assured stakeholders that PRESEC remains committed to upholding its values, protecting the dignity of its students, and maintaining high standards of excellence and moral development.

On Thursday, January 15, 2026, during a livestream in between takes on her show, GH Today, she made remarks about the prestigious school that many believed were offensive.
In an apparent moment of banter, Serwaa Amihere stated:
“Today, the school (PRESEC) is filled with such boys. When they attend the National Science and Maths Quiz, don't you see how they behave? The school has become a breeding ground for LGBTQ acts,” she said.
