Later, two (2) more classrooms were added from the Catechist center. The achievement of the students during the Training College period was outstanding in soccer and athletics. Not surprisingly, the greatest challenge of the College was accommodation for teachers.

From Teachers Training College To Secondary School. In 1972, the teachers training college was changed and given a secondary school status. Products of the training college were re-absorbed as teachers in the secondary school. Some of such pioneers were Yaw Okyere (Mathematics), Enyanful Evans S.E (Geography) and the late Paul Okyere (Mathematics). The first day of secondary life started on the 29TH of October,1972, after ten (10) years of teacher training college existence Under the Headship of Mr. E.K Caesar (1972-1976), the first batch of students of the secondary school were seventy (70) in number, consisting of fifty (50) boys and twenty (20) girls. They were put in two classes namely class A (35 students) and class B (35 students). The programme available for study were General Art,Business, In 1973/74, the first Gala Championship organized between Nsaba Presbyterian Secondary School, Swedru Secondary School, Breman Asikma Secondary School and Winneba Secondary School saw Nsaba Presec emerging as the champions. By virtue of the location of the school, the school became hedged in at the centre on the community with lots of straying animals disturbing its peace and harmony.

Mr. P.O. Asare who served as Headmaster between (1976-1982), was credited with the main three (3) storey classroom building or block, as well as the Block “A” flat for the teachers. The tenure of office of Mr. J.A Agyire (1982-1986), the third Headmaster of the Secondary School also saw the construction of Flat “B” and “C” for teachers, as well as the present Headmaster’s bungalow. However, his tenure of office also witnessed serious clashes between the school and the church. It was during the time of headmaster J. A Agyire that a foreign student by name of Italy from Zimbabwe was adjudged the best science student in 1983 Year Group. Again, the 83” Year Group was privilege to have two (2) of their members awarded scholarship for further studies in Russia.

They were Jonathan Swatson and Addo Tiaku. Between 1987-1995, when J.K.O Acquah was Headmaster of the School, the girls dormitory of House 1 and 4 were housed at the Education Office in Nsaba . To help provide accommodation for his teachers, the headmaster bought the Bachelor Flat from Dr. Appiah. In 1989, the wooden structure housing the girls at the catechist center collapsed during a film show. Thirteen (13) girls sustained serious injuries but were treated and discharged at the Korle-bu and Oda hospital. The Valco Trust Fund donated a wooden truck for the school,during Mr. J.K.O. Acquah’s time.

In 1990, a National Essay Competition for which the school took part produced the best student from the school in the person of Timothy Aidoo. His prize was a trip to Holland. On the 24TH of February 1992, the girls House 2 and 3 were moved to the school campus. In 1997/98, Nana Eyiah, a student of the school was awarded scholarship to study Poultry in the Netherlands when G.S Asare was the headmaster. The P.T.A donated a Benz bus to the school through G.S Asare, who also constructed the school library.

In sports, two (2) students became the best athletes in the persons of John Adaigo and S. Asiedu. Another outstanding goalkeeper of thesecondary school period possible:
The headmaster S. Kwamina Ansah procured the school’s mini-bus and constructed the present Administration Block and provided the headmaster office with modern furniture. In 2001 and 2002 ,Mr. Felix Anim, an Art Master constructed the statue at round about in front of the Administration Block, as well as other sculptors in the school. The most challenging difficulty that faced the secondary school was indiscipline among the students in the form of breaking of bounds by virtue of the location of the school. Acknowledgment is hereby given to the following for providing information that made the school history Mr. Ben Arthur (a pioneer student), Mr. Sam Evans Enyamful (an old boy), Mr. A. K.
