Christian Methodist Senior High School is a co-educational and public secondary school located at New Aplaku in the Ga South Municipality of the Greater Accra Region of Ghana.[3] In March 2024, students of the school were involved in a brawl with students of Ngleshie Amanfro Senior High School which resulted in the death of two students.[4][5]
History
[edit | edit source]The school was established in September 1960 by the Rev. Gordon Nii Akwei Quaye with funding from the United States-based Christian Methodist Episcopal Church. The school was initially located, in rented premises, at Asylum Down, near the Kwame Nkrumah Circle.[6] Originally a private institution, it was absorbed into the public educational system in September 1965. The school moved to the present site, in Weija, in September 2009. The school is a co-educational school. In 2021 Yen News listed the school as one of the top ten senior high schools in the Greater Accra area.[7]
In 2015 110 acres of land belonging to the school were the subject of an invasion by squatters.[8] By 2018 only five acres of the 110 acres set aside for the school were available for its use.[9] During the 2020 Ghanaian elections, a polling station at the school was the site of disturbances between supporters of the rival NPP and NDC over an alleged attempt to sway voters by distributing food.[10]
