Our History

THE HISTORIC TIMELINE

Jachie-Pramso Senior High School is 21.6 km from the Central Post Office, Kumasi. It is off the main road to Lake Bosomtwe, specifically to Abono town. T.I Ahmadiyya Mission historically started the school.

By 1960, the mission had conceived the ideal, and the necessary improvised infrastructure had been put in place at Pramso.

By 1968, the school had started with Form 1.

In early October, 1970, Jachie town, led by the chief, also decided to find a secondary school at Jachie. The minister of education, Hon. William Ofori Atta, deemed it expedient to advise the two towns to merge to get one common secondary school. T.I. Ahmadiyya really agreed, and accordingly, the two chiefs from Jachie and Pramso were to release one common plot for the school (the site, covering an area of 107.40 acres), and this was readily agreed upon, hence the location of the school, which is situated on both jachie and Pramso common land.

The school was therefore precisely on 15th October, 1970 taken over as a government-assisted secondary school by the change government, acting on the advice of the ministry of education with form one using part of the present administration block and forms two and three at Pramso on T.I. Ahmadiyya premises.
