All hail the Mmerantee from Kumsi High School. They came, they saw, they conquered. Intelligence, smartness, creativity, skill, professionalism, tenacity, commitment could all be attributed to the Debating Team from the Toronto Desert, the land of possibilities.

Kumasi High School has been crowned as the Winners of this year’s High School Debate Competition after a narrow victory over Prempeh College.

With a point difference of four, Kumasi High School managed to claim the title from Prempeh College who were appearing in the grand finale for the second year running. Prempeh were on top of their game. Their debating skill was top notched. The Sanusi – Manuel partnership was tight. Their fluency and charisma unmatched but Kumasi High School remained focused and did justice to the topic with strong rebuttals.

Before the announcement of the results, you could virtually cut through the tension in the room. It was solid. Nerves couldn’t be calmed, hearts were beating, Social media was agog, opinions were divided, predictions were divided. Now it was time to announce the results. The room was thrown into frenzy when Kumasi High School was finally announced as the winner of the 2022 edition and the 4th Champions of the competition after T. I. Amass, Ksi, St. Jerome SHS and St. Monica’s SHS. The boys behind the Auditorium couldn’t believe they have actually won over rivals Prempeh College. It was time for jubilation.

The High School anthem started blazing. Teachers were rejoicing, the Headmaster went on his knees in celebration. History has been made. The two Debaters of Kuhis and their Patron will tour Dubai and Kenya for their prize in an all expense paid trip. The Debaters will be supported to write their SAT exam for a scholarship to study in America by ZEST Consult.

Scholarship for their Trainers to Study at Jackson Institute of Leadership and Innovation. They took home cash prize, television, books, medals, trophy and many Survenirs but the utmost joy was the Bragging Rights which linger for so many years to come. It was a Triumphant entry to Toronto Desert at Gyenyasi as students and teachers received them in a heroic welcome. Jubilation went deep in the night. For one year ahead of us and until a new winner is crowned, the Mmerantee have the bragging rights. Congratulations. Hard work pays.

3rd/4th Place Contest.

Osei Tutu SHS proved too strong for Bompata Presbyterian SHS in their 3rd place contest. Osei Tutu won by quite a decent margin to prove that they could have been a formidable opponent had they qualified to the grand finale.

PRESEC-B went home with the Best Debaters prize on the day to crown their efforts. The competition has really catapulted PRESEC-B to greater heights.

All schools took home wide range of assorted prizes and products to crown their efforts. Congratulations to all four schools.

All hail the Mmerantee of Kumasi High School as they match forward to take on Prempeh College in the last battle of the High School Debate Competition.

The motions are set, the adrenaline is high, anxiety is rising, tongues are wagging, pulses are rising, tension is reaching a crescendo. Which school will make it to the grand finale? Prempeh College takes on Osei Tutu SHS on the motion “Juvenile Offenders Should be tried and treated as Adults”. Christian Service University College is the venue. Will it be O.

The two schools have in their fold some very wonderful Debaters who will be doing justice to this very ancient topic. In the end, only 1 out of the 2 schools will qualify.
