History
[edit]The school was established before Nigeria attained independence from her British colonial masters in 1960. 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.[7]
