Kumasi High School are the new champions of the Goil Plc Ashanti Regional Championship of the National Science and Maths Quiz.
It's a double blessing in a year they are celebrating their 60th anniversary. Earlier in the month, the school won the regional high school debate organized by Luv FM.
In an all-boys academic showdown, Kumasi High School defeated two rivals, Opoku Ware School and Prempeh College, to claim the ultimate title. This is a trophy they have yearned for since the introduction of the regional competition.

Kumasi High ended the first round of the grand finale leading the pack with 18 points, while Opoku Ware School and Prempeh College trailed with 15 and 13 points, respectively.
It was a fierce battle during the speed race round, with OWASS and KUHIS masterfully thrilling the crowd by whisking away points. Prempeh College struggled at this point, failing to compete effectively with the two leading schools.
