The Management of Presbyterian Boys’ Senior High School (PRESEC), Legon, has condemned alleged misguided comments attributed to lawyer and media personality Miss Serwaa Amihere, in which she erroneously labeled the school as ‘a breeding ground for homosexuals.’
This statement, according to the school, is not only false but also reckless and profoundly offensive, unjustly maligns students and undermines the hard-earned reputation of one of Ghana’s most esteemed secondary institutions.
“The assertion serves as an irresponsible generalization that tarnishes the character of our students and seeks to impose an unfair stigma on a school known for its proud legacy of discipline, excellence, and moral formation. Management unequivocally rejects this misrepresentation,” the school stressed.
It emphasized that PRESEC is a Presbyterian mission school grounded in solid Christian principles, committed to fostering academic excellence, discipline, leadership, and moral development in accordance with the doctrines of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana and the laws of our nation, and that any claims to the contrary are egregiously inaccurate.
“For over eight decades, PRESEC has been dedicated to shaping young men of character and integrity, equipping them to make meaningful contributions to national development. Our academic and co-curricular achievements speak volumes; PRESEC consistently ranks among Ghana’s top secondary schools, evidenced by our repeated successes in the National Science and Maths Quiz.”
“Our sustained academic performance showcases a culture of intellectual rigor, discipline, teamwork, confidence, and responsible leadership, which stands in stark contrast to the defamatory narrative currently circulating. We stand firm in our mission and values.”
Management warned that such statements have broader consequences beyond reputational damage, particularly for students.
“Statements of this nature are not only inaccurate; they are harmful. They unfairly label and expose young students to ridicule, prejudice, and emotional harm,” the statement noted.
The school stressed that it would not accept or normalise characterisations that stigmatise its students or erode public confidence in the institution.
PRESEC expressed gratitude to parents, alumni, students, and the general public for their continued support, assuring stakeholders of its commitment to protecting student dignity and upholding institutional values.
“We remain steadfast in upholding our values, protecting the dignity of our students, and sustaining the standards of excellence and character formation for which PRESEC is known,” Management said.
The statement reaffirmed the school’s core mandate: delivering quality education, enforcing discipline, shaping character, and preparing young men to become principled leaders and responsible citizens.
