About us
Yaa Asantewaa Girls’ Senior High School (YAGSHS) was established in 1961 as part of the rapid educational expansion project pioneered by Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, the first Ghanaian President after the independence of the country. The school started in 1960 with seventy students. The school was named after Yaa Asantewaa, the great historical revolutionary heroine and Queenmother of Ejisu, in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. This short, smallish lady boldly led the Ashanti Kings in a war against the British colonialists in the year 1900. Our patron Yaa Asantewaa might not have won that war physically, but her spirit and vision continue to inspire all Ghanaians generally, and all women and the girl-child in particular.
