The Ghana Secondary Technical School[1][2] is a science and technology-oriented high school located in Takoradi on the west coast of Ghana. It is the third oldest high school in Ghana[3] - the oldest 'non-missionary' high school.[4] The School was founded on 9 August 1909 in Accra[5][6] as Accra Technical School and later changed to Government Technical School. It moved to its current site in Takoradi in 1939.[7] In 1953, the name was changed to Government Secondary Technical School, and in 1970, it was given its current name.[8] Former students of the school are known as Giants, and students in the school are called Tescans.[9]
