St. Rose's Senior High School
OUR ALMA MATER
St. Rose’s Senior High (Rosec or Rose’s) is a public Catholic high school for girls, located in Akwatia in the Eastern Region of Ghana. The second-cycle high school was founded in 1965 by the Dominican Sisters.
The school first started as a teacher training college with 80 students but in September 1969, the teacher training college was changed over into a secondary school with the initial enrollment of 72 students. Barima Kofi Bempong II, the then chief of Akwatia, the Akwatia Traditional Council and the Akwatia Town Development Committee passed a resolution that gave birth to the establishment of the school.
The school’s motto is the Latin word ‘veritas’ which means truth and evokes a strong sense of integrity and resposibility among its patrons. Students of St. Rose's are called ‘Rosecans’ while old students are ’Rosas’. Due to their location in the mining town of Akwatia, year groups are named after precious stones and flowers. The school’s colours are blue and white which is worn by all year groups.
The discpline and superior work ethic have contributed to making St. Rose’s and its graduands highly sought after by many.
