Holy Child School
By the 1930′s Mfantsipim school and Adisadel College had been established for the Methodists and Anglicans respectively in the Gold Coast. This made the Catholics, especially in the Colony, very restive.
They prevailed upon their Bishop, Bishop Haugar to build a Catholic Secondary School and College for their children. Such was their demand that when the Bishop did not heed to it, the Catholics started writing letters to the Holy Father to send them a real English Bishop who understood the important of education. Little did the Catholics know that Bishop Ernest Haugar had aquired a land and saved up some money for the establishment of the Boys’ Secondary School. Unfortunately, due to persistent ill-health, Bishop Ernest Haugar retired and went back home on the 24th of October 1932 with the Holy Father’s Permission
