In 1960, Accra Girls Senior High was founded as a Ghana Education Trust institution. Under the direction of expatriate Blanch Gibson, the school officially opened on September 30. The school has distinguished itself over its fifty-seven (57) years of existence by upholding a high standard of discipline, academic excellence, and advancement. "Aim High" is the school's motto. It suggests that students' intellectual goals should never be limited and should never give way to mediocrity or complacency. [8]
