Шаблон:Short description The Gambia Senior Secondary School (formerly the Gambia High School) is a school in Box Bar Road, Banjul, Gambia, founded by Wesleyan missionaries. It has educated two leaders of Gambia.

History

The school was founded in 1876 in Dobson Street, Banjul, by Wesleyan missionaries. In 1898 it re-opened as the Methodist Boys' High School and in 1915 the associated Girls High School was opened.[1]

The girls' and boys' high schools were merged in 1959 to create the Gambia High School and the location moved to Box Bar Road.[1] Philip Beale was the principal from 1961 to 1966.[2] While there, he jointly organised an archaeological expedition with pupils from the school to examine the Senegambian stone circles.[3] In 1994, the name changed again to the Gambia Senior Secondary School.[1]
