Sacred Heart College (abbreviated as SAHECO) is a private Catholic secondary boarding school for boys, located in Mankon, Northwest Region of Cameroon. It is managed by the Archdiocese of Bamenda, and is known for producing some of the best results in the General Certificate of Education Ordinary and Advanced Levels in Cameroon.[1]
Originally created by the Mill Hill Missionaries,[2] the school was handed over to the Marist Brothers who managed it for decades,[3] before eventually ceding control to the Archdiocese of Bamenda.
