The only senior high school within the Ghana Armed Forces Headquarters — built on discipline, powered by light.
What began in 1978 to serve the children of soldiers has grown into one of Greater Accra's respected senior high technical schools — without ever losing its family spirit.
Founded jointly by the Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of Education to educate dependants of soldiers and MoD civilian staff at Burma Camp.
Technical and vocational education becomes the backbone of the school's identity.
Classrooms, laboratories, workshops, a library and boarding facilities serving day students and boarders within the barracks community.
Category B, mixed, day & boarding — ranked among Ghana's top 250 senior high schools and still climbing.
“Knowledge, Service and Discipline”
Our slogan says it all: when a Forces student greets you, the answer is “Comrade!” — family first.
To train and equip young people with requisite skills, knowledge, moral aptitude and discipline in an environment of collaboration and mutual respect among teachers, parents and students — for the wellbeing of the individual and the country.
To become an ultra-modern Senior High Technical School in Ghana — a model school and a centre of excellence for Science, ICT, Technical and Vocational education.
Three words that sum up every assembly, every class, every match — and every Forces graduate.
Learning is the lamp we hand every student — academic, technical and moral.
Serving the nation, the forces community and one another — leadership begins with service.
Within the barracks walls, discipline is not a rule — it is a culture our students carry for life.
The school is governed by a Board of Governors inaugurated under the Ghana Armed Forces, working hand in hand with the Ghana Education Service.
Oversight and strategic direction, re-constituted under Ghana Armed Forces leadership.
A dedicated headmaster/mistress, assistants and teaching staff committed to every learner.
Parents and old students (the Forces family) partner the school through the portal, programmes and projects.
The Parent-Teacher Association of Forces Senior High Technical School promotes effective collaboration between parents, teachers and school management towards the academic, social and infrastructural development of the school. Through partnership and shared responsibility, the PTA continues to contribute significantly to improving teaching and learning conditions and the general welfare of students.
The Association acknowledges the invaluable leadership and contributions of its former Chairman, Mr. Afotey, who handed over leadership in February 2025 to the current Chairman, Rev. Dr. Emmanuel Aning — supported by a dedicated team of executives.
Through the collective efforts and support of parents, the PTA has undertaken several interventions to improve the school’s infrastructure, learning environment and student welfare. Notable achievements include:
The PTA remains committed to strengthening the partnership between parents and the school, mobilising resources for priority projects and supporting initiatives that promote academic excellence, discipline and the holistic development of students.
