NSMQ2024: Dormaa SHS, Wenchi Methodist SHS make national appearance after decade drought

Dormaa Senior High School is making its first appearance on the national stage of the National Science and Maths Quiz after a decade-long drought. Dormaa SHS secured the last slot for the region by outcompeting Sacred Heart, Nsawkaw SHS, and Goka SHTS.

The school led in the first round of the contest and extended their streak to complete the contest with a final score of 32 points. The last time the school qualified for the national championship was in 2014.

Their joy after winning the contest was similarly shared by students of Wenchi Methodist SHS. After six consecutive years of missing out, Wenchi Methodist SHS is making a triumphant entry into the 2024 edition.

The school beat competition from their Wesleyan counterparts, Berekum Methodist SHTS, Jinijini SHS, and Sumaman SHS to qualify for the national championship.

In what many had expected to be a solid performance by Methodist SHTS, Berekum, the “Asomafo” from Wenchi took everyone by surprise, winning with a landslide. The school garnered 41 points at the end of the contest, ahead of their closest contender, Sumaman SHS, who pulled 23 points. Methodist SHS, Berekum, and Jinijini SHS lagged behind with 11 points each.

Contestants, students, and teachers of the school are poised to excel even at the national championship. The school is heading to the nationals with four others to represent the Bono region in this year’s competition. They are Notre Dame Girls SHS, Sunyani SHS, and Nafana Presby SHS.

The ladies from Fiapre were unrelenting in overcoming their first hurdle after they were nearly kicked out. The school completed three rounds of the contest placing third but managed to overturn the contest in their favor in the final round, with a point margin ahead of their contender, Berekum SHS.
