BRIEF HISTORY
OF THE CHEMU CADET CORPS
The school was established at the time when the Ministry of Education in Ghana had conceived the idea of de-boardenising schools to alleviate the problems of high boarding fees and to increase the intake of day students. It was also in response to meet the increasing demands for vacancies in secondary schools in the Tema Township, in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana, hence the conversion of the Community 4 No.2 Middle School into a model day secondary school known as Chemu Secondary School with the motto: 'Discipline and Hardwork'. The school was formally opened on the 12th of October 1982 with a double stream of 86 students.

programmes:
Science; General Arts; Visual Art; Home
