**Bechem Presbyterian Senior High School** — known across Ghana simply as **PRESEC Bechem** — is a prestigious mixed second-cycle institution in Bechem, the capital of Tano South District in the **Ahafo Region** (formerly part of Brong-Ahafo). It is one of the flagship Presbyterian schools in the country and a household name in Ahafo and beyond. The school was founded by the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, which from the 19th century built a network of mission schools that became the backbone of Ghanaian education — think Prempeh College, Presbyterian Boys' (PRESEC Legon), and here in the Ahafo/Bono belt, Bechem PRESEC. It offers the full range of programmes — **General Arts, General Science, Business, and Home Economics/Visual Arts** — and has long been a strong performer in WASSCE, with alumni (old students) spread across medicine, law, engineering, the clergy, politics and business. Its old students' association is active in giving back to the school. Like most Ghanaian SHSs, Bechem PRESEC runs the **double-track system** introduced to absorb the surge in enrolment from the Free SHS policy, and it is a **boarding-plus-day** school. It competes seriously in the national circuit — athletics, debate, and the National Science and Maths Quiz — and is a regular fixture in inter-school sports in the Ahafo Region. A few practical notes: admissions run through the **Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS)** after BECE, so a candidate selects it as a choice and is placed based on aggregate and available space. For anything time-sensitive — current headmaster, this year's WASSCE results, admission cut-offs, or reopening dates — the reliable sources are the **Ghana Education Service (GES)** and the school's own channels, since those change year to year and I won't invent a name or figure I can't stand behind. If you're asking because you're a prospective student, a parent, or an old student planning a homecoming, tell me which angle and I'll go deeper — cut-off aggregates, the house system, or how to reach the alumni association. As the Akan put it, *"Nea wo hwɛ na wɔhwɛ"* — the school you look into is the one that looks after you.
