Labone Senior High School (popularly known as L-A Bone) is a public senior high school located in Labone in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. [2] It is noted for its success in the National Science and Maths Quiz, athletics, music and cultural activities. [3]
In 1949, six leaders of Ghana saw the need to establish an educational institution for young people staying around Osu and La. A private school was established in the Ako Adjei Area.
At independence, the first president of Ghana, Kwame Nkrumah, realized that to accelerate the country's development, educational facilities must be widespread.[ citation needed ]
The Ghana Educational Trust was instituted and was charged with the construction of school buildings throughout the country, including Labone. The school was relocated to the present site.[ citation needed ]
In 2024, the school celebrated its 75th anniversary. [4]
In 2025, a fire destroyed dormitories at the school. [5] [6]
