Presbyterian Boys' Secondary School (popularly referred to as PRESEC) is a prestigious all-male academic institution founded in 1938. It was originally located at Odumase - Krobo in the Eastern Region of Ghana. It was started as a secondary school for boys by the Presbyterian Church of Ghana. PRESEC has ties with its sister school, Aburi Girls' Senior High School. The school's crest has a shield with the Presbyterian Symbol (the St Andrew Cross-Scottish flag with the Swiss Flag embedded and a burning torch in the middle) with the motto of the school, "In Lumine Tuo Videbimus Lumen" (meaning "In Thy Light We Shall See Light"), scrolled beneath. The school's anthem is "Happy Are We", written by J. L. Anang 〔("Happy Are We" ) 〕 ==Odumase campus (1938 - 1968)== The school was started in Odumase after a Ghanaian educationist with the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, E. A. W. Engmann lobbied for a boys' school to be started by the church.〔(E. A. W. Engmann ) 〕 This finally came to fruition in 1938 with the first group of 16 boys and 4 teachers. Rev. Engmann was the first headmaster. The Odumase campus initially housed German missionaries, then a primary school and then a Government Survey School before becoming the Presbyterian Boys' Secondary School. One of the proud traditions of the school is the ''(unicode:ɔdadeɛ)'' (baobab tree) located on the campus. An alumnus of the school is referred to as ''(unicode:Ɔdadeɛ)''. The baobab tree is a Ghanaian symbol of knowledge, resourcefulness and strength. New students were traditionally initiated at the feet of this tree clad in bedsheets and powdered faces. PRESEC quickly gained a high reputation for the quality of its students both academically and in sports. PRESEC was located here till 1968 when it was moved to its new permanent location at Legon, Mile 9. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Presbyterian Boys' Senior High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
