History

The school was founded on 22 January 1940 by the late Rev. Dr. A. W. E. Appiah with six boys. He named the school Aggrey Memorial College after his late Uncle Dr. J. E. Kwegyir Aggrey. His aim was to perpetuate the memory of his uncle by means of an institution, which would give young boys and girls adequate secondary education which would fit them into higher fields of learning. The School is thus a living tribute to that great son of Africa – – Dr. Kwegyir Aggrey.

During the first few years, the school occupied, successively, buildings in the heart of Cape Coast Township, in the Central Region of Ghana. The first home was called “Tandon Kuma”, House Number 39, Jukwa Road, which also serve as the Headmaster’s residence. The rent was two pounds (£2) five shillings (5sh) a month.

In April, 1940, with an enrolment of ten boys, the school moved to “Bucknor Villa” with a rent of two pounds a month but due to unhealthy conditions, the school moved to yet another house rented by a football team on 1st November. The rent this time was six shillings. By this time, there were 20 boys – nine of them were in the preparatory class.
