"Wisdom is the art of correct social living that is acquired at the feet of wise men and women," he said.
The Principal of the school, a Ms Ann Boakye Ansah, said the school, which was formerly known as 'Social Advance Institute (SAl), started as a vocational and commercial school.

The school has a population of 454 and runs five courses in
General Arts, Business, Vocational Studies, Secretaryship, Catering and Fashion Design.

Ms Ansah appealed to the Ministry of Education to assist the school with a computer laboratory, a library with modern research books and a school bus to enhance teaching and learning short courses such as dressmaking and secretaryship would be introduced in the school in the near future.
The Member of Parliament for Ablekuma South, Mr Fritz Baffour , pledged to donate five brand new computers and books to be school's library.
