About the School
The school was established by the Ghanaian government in October 1975 as part of an educational policy aimed at making secondary education accessible to rural areas.
Initially known as Trabuom Secondary School, its name was later changed to reflect its location within a traditional area, becoming Atwimamam Secondary School
In 2002/2003, the school transitioned from a mixed school to an all-girls institution and was renamed Afia Kobi Ampem Girls’ Senior High School in honor of the Queen Mother of the Ashanti Kingdom, who is the biological mother of His Royal Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
The school’s vision is to become a model institution for girls in science, business, and vocational skills.
Its mission is to provide relevant education that enables students to acquire necessary skills, identify their talents, and develop their potential to become productive members of society.
The school’s motto is “Leadership and Service.” Located at Trede, the institution remains committed to its mission and vision.
