VISION
Our aim is to ensure that this educational establishment grows and attracts a greater number of students who will be self-disciplined and go on to achieve academic success.
MISSION
The mission of the school is to give JHS graduates who enrol in the school with a good education and moral instruction. Students in this category will receive instruction in the humanities, as well as technical and agricultural vocational fields.
After that, they will receive training to help them learn the values and abilities that will enable them to be valuable not only to themselves but also to the community and the nation as a whole.
In the final step of the process, they will participate in the education programmes that will prepare them to enrol in higher institutions such as universities, colleges of education, and polytechnics.
BRIEF HISTORY
The Badu Experimental Junior Secondary School was renamed the Badu Secondary Technical School on January 28, 1991, and Mr. T. E. K. Hassan was appointed as the school’s first headmaster at that time.
Twenty students were enrolled in the School when it first opened, along with three National Service personnel.
There were three (3) different programmes available, including agriculture, technical, and home economics.
Later on, the home economics programme was discontinued, and it was succeeded by the business curriculum. In 2007, a General Arts course was included as an elective option for students to choose.
On the road that connects Badu and Wenchi, the school can be found around 1.5 kilometres in that direction.
