Battling against Obuasi Senior High Technical School (SHTS) and Agu Gyamfi SHS, Anglican SHS comfortably qualified for the one-fourth stage of the National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ) held at the University of Ghana.
Assuring victory for Anglican SHS were Dominion Kwabena Turkson and Wilfred Obeng.
Hoping for a better turnout next year are Obuasi SHTS and Adu Gyamfi SHS who were represented by Godfred Agyemang, Joseph Dano and Joshua Agyeman, Reagan Adoma respectively.
In the first round of the contest, Anglican SHS shook the contest and earned 19 points. Obuasi SHTS and Adu Gyamfi SHS competed keenly between each other in this round with 13 and 12 points respectively.
Keeping up with the "speed race" in round two was a challenge faced by the quiz mistress as all three schools buzzed their bells in great speed to secure more points for their respective schools.
