Management of Presbyterian Boys’ Senior High School (PRESEC), Legon, has strongly condemned comments attributed to lawyer and broadcaster Serwaa Amihere, in which the school was allegedly labelled a “breeding ground for homosexuals.”
PRESEC described the remarks as false, reckless, and deeply offensive.
In a statement dated January 17, 2026, the school said it had taken “serious note” of the claims, stressing that they unfairly malign its students and undermine the reputation of one of Ghana’s most respected secondary schools.
“Management unequivocally condemns this statement. It is false, reckless, and deeply offensive,” the release stated, adding that such comments amount to an irresponsible generalisation that seeks to stigmatise students.
PRESEC emphasised its identity as a Presbyterian mission school founded more than 80 years ago, grounded in Christian values and governed by the doctrines of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana as well as national laws. Any suggestion that the school encourages behaviour contrary to these principles, it said, is a “gross misrepresentation.”
The school highlighted its long-standing commitment to academic excellence, moral training, discipline and leadership, citing achievements such as its multiple National Science and Maths Quiz victories as evidence of a culture of hard work and character formation.
Management noted that such allegations are not only inaccurate but potentially harmful, exposing students to ridicule and emotional distress while damaging an institution that has significantly contributed to national development.
PRESEC thanked parents, alumni, students and the public for their continued support, reaffirming its dedication to high standards of academic and moral excellence. It stressed that it will not accept attempts to draw the school into ongoing national debates on LGBTQI issues, especially through what it described as defamatory commentary.
The statement concluded by reiterating PRESEC’s core mission of offering quality education, enforcing discipline, shaping character and preparing young men for responsible leadership.
