History
Osei Tutu Senior High School, named after the founder of the Ashanti Kingdom, Otumfuo Osei Tutu I, and founded in 1940 as one of the Ashanti Region’s Royal Schools, is regarded as the embodiment of Asanteman culture and tradition.
The Methodist Church of Ghana established the institution as a Middle Boys Boarding School in a house near the Freeman College and Wesley College in Kumasi. Osei Tutu Training College was influenced by the conversion of a number of Training Colleges in the country into secondary schools in the 1972/73 academic year, and had to operate as a double institution until the Training College component was dropped.
Since then, the school designed the current uniform that the students wear now.
Uniform Meaning
The color of the school uniform is in line with the colors on the crest of the school with blue and white colors. The uniform is popularly referred to as Argentina by the students because of the color.
