Mfantsipim Senior High School, one of Ghana’s premier all-boys boarding school, found in Cape Coast, Ghana, was established by the Methodist Church in 1876 to foster intellectual, moral, and spiritual growth in the then Gold Coast.

It is the first Secondary School to have been established in Ghana.

The school whose founding name was Wesleyan High School would have never been great and achieved global acclamation if not for the will and dedication of eight (8) brave students.

The school’s headmaster at the time, Rev. J. Delaney Russell travelled to the UK for his annual leave on July 18, 1907. At the time of his leave, he was the only teacher in the school, and leaving the students without guidance and a tutor was going to strongly affect teaching and learning at the time.

The students, eight (8) at the time did not falter, but rather strengthened their resolve for learning.

The students, W.E Saccoom, W. Coleman, J. Intsiful, J. Doomson, R.S. Coleman, W.E.G Sackey, L.W. Anaman and A. Essien quickly come together to teach themselves.

The students did this for four (4) months until, Reverend W.T Balmer, visiting from Richmond College, Sierra Leone arrived in Ghana on November 12, 1907 to teach them.
