Kpedze Senior High School

The school started in October 1962 as a Government institution; it was never privately run. In 1962, the Kpedze Youth Association was organizing to build a Community Center in Kpedze. They had put some money together for the purpose.. The Hon. Hans Kofi Boni, then Volta Regional Commissioner convinced the Youth Association to divert £100.00 of this money into construction of buildings for the establishment of a secondary school in Kpedze. Hon. Boni then lobbied for the yet-to-be-born school to benefit from a fund that was available at the Volta Regional office; the school got £250.00. This gesture encouraged the Youth to support the plan to establish a school. Hon. Boni’s efforts were strongly supported by his party colleague and friend, the Hon. Dowuna-Hammond, the then Minister for Education.

The first temporary classrooms were constructed with the seed money from the Youth Society and the £250.00 Government grant. Boni. The people of Kpedze had to do the constructional work by communal labour. For dormitories, the Gbesemetey family donated their houses free of charge. Messieurs C. K. Gbena, Vincent Atsrim and Hon. Boni also released their houses for use as staff accommodation.
