In a video on X, the District Chief Executive (DCE) for Ahafo Ano South West, where the school is located, was seen jubilating with some of his staff at the end of the contest.
The DCE was with two other staff members. The three watched the live telecast contest on a phone. Even before the quiz mistress declared the winner, the three stopped watching and started jubilating.
They started singing while one of them grabbed a bottle of sparkling wine and cups so they could celebrate.
One of the two men with Abubakar Sedik, the DCE of the area, said this was unprecedented and needed to be celebrated.
He indicated that the DCE must be congratulated as well, since it was during his tenure that such a remarkable feat happened.
By defeating St Thomas Aquinas and Ghana National College, Mankranso SHS proceeds to the semifinals of the NSMQ.
