practitioners’, governance, sports, and creative arts among others, who are serving the nation in diverse ways and as well as contributing to the
development of Ghana.
“The school has produced excellent results over the years, at certain periods Ketasco was part of the top schools in Ghana. In the national science and
mathematics quiz competition, the school was in the semi-finals in 2008,2018, 2019, and 2020. This is not a mere achievement. In 2021 Ketasco
performed in the NSQM competition final held in Kumasi. The brightness of our students and contestants blew the minds of all and sundry.
The entire nation, for that matter the world continues to celebrate our performance. It is one of the sought-after schools in terms of discipline. This
became very eminent this year when we had an admission. Parents whose wards were placed in other schools came kneeling down crying emotionally
so that their daughters and sons will be accepted in KETASCO.”

inadequate washrooms, inadequate beds, dining hall furniture not enough, and also the science laboratory lacking equipment for students to use for
