Ogbomosho High School is a Government Secondary School in Ogbomosho, in the Oyo state of Nigeria.[1] It was established on 1 April 1952.[2][3] Ogbomosho High School holds a prominent position among the public schools in Ogbomosho.[4] The school consists of junior and senior classes.[5] Edmund Godwin Oluwemimo Gesinde was the first principal of the school.[6]
History[edit]
The school was established before Nigeria attained independence from her British colonial masters in 1960. It is the oldest secondary school in Nigeria (CMS Grammar School, Bariga, Lagos; June 6, 1859).[7][8] Ogbomoso Parapo, a socio-cultural organization of Ogbomoso sons and daughters, took the final decision to establish the school inside Ogbomoso town hall at its annual congress on December 26, 1951, and the letter of approval to open a secondary school was received from Hunt A. Cooke, Director of Education, Western Region of Nigeria. The letter, dated March 18, 1952, stated that the effective date to start the school was April 1, 1952.[9]
