PRESEC CONDEMNS SERWAA AMIHERE’S COMMENTS THAT THE SCHOOL IS A ‘BREEDING GROUND FOR HOMOSEXUALS’
The management of Presbyterian Boys’ Senior High School (PRESEC) in Legon has condemned remarks made by lawyer and media personality Serwaa Amihere, who reportedly described the school as “a breeding ground for homosexuals.”
In a statement released on Saturday (17 January), PRESEC management called the comments “false, reckless and deeply offensive,” saying they unfairly maligned students and threatened the reputation of the institution.
The statement reads;
The Management of Presbyterian Boys’ Senior High School (PRESEC, Legon) has taken serious note of a statement attributed to Miss Serwaa Amihere Esq., a lawyer and media personality, in which she described PRESEC as “a breeding ground for homosexuals.”
Management unequivocally condemns this statement. It is false, reckless, and deeply offensive. It constitutes an irresponsible generalisation that maligns our students, undermines the integrity of our institution, and seeks to attach a stigma to a school with a proud legacy of discipline, excellence, and moral formation.
Presbyterian Boys’ Senior High School is a Presbyterian mission institution founded and governed on firm Christian values.
For over eight decades, PRESEC has been dedicated to academic excellence, character development, discipline, leadership, and the moral upbringing of young men in accordance with the doctrines of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana and the laws of the Republic of Ghana. Any assertion to the contrary is a gross misrepresentation of who we are and what we stand for.
PRESEC’s record speaks clearly for itself. The school has consistently distinguished itself as one of Ghana’s leading secondary institutions, producing generations of men of character who serve society with honour across academia, public service, science, business, faith, and civic life.
Our sustained academic achievements, including repeated success at the National Science and Maths Quiz, reflect a culture of narrative being circulated.
Statements of this nature are not only inaccurate; they are harmful. They unfairly label and expose young students to ridicule, prejudice, and emotional harm, while attempting to erode the hard-earned reputation of an institution that has contributed immensely to national development. PRESEC will not accept or normalise such characterisations.
Management thanks parents, alumni, students, and the wider Ghanaian public for their continued confidence and trust in Presbyterian Boys’ Senior High School.
We assure all stakeholders that the school remains steadfast in upholding its values, protecting the dignity of its students, and sustaining the standards of excellence and character formation for which PRESEC is known.
PRESEC will continue to focus on its core mandate: delivering quality education, enforcing discipline, shaping character, and preparing young men to become principled leaders and responsible citizens.”
