Mfantsiman Girls’ Senior High School has triumphantly returned to the national stage of the National Science and Math Quiz (NSMQ) after a six-year hiatus.
Their last appearance in the national competition was in 2017. However, on Saturday, the determined ladies from Saltpond made a powerful statement by dominating the Central Regional Qualifiers held at the Center for National Culture auditorium.
The contest was intense from the start, with Mfantsiman Girls taking a narrow lead in the first round, scoring 16 points against Abakrampa Senior High School’s 15 points.
The competition heated up in the second round, where Mfantsiman extended their lead to 29 points. They maintained their momentum and secured a comfortable victory with a total of 47 points.
Abakrampa SHS finished second with 25 points, followed by T.I. Amass, Ekumfi with 12 points. Twifo Hemang Senior High Technical School came in fourth with just 2 points.
Mfantsiman Girls are not only aiming to make a strong comeback but also to reclaim their former glory at the national level of the NSMQ. They were finalists in 2013, finishing third behind Presbyterian Boys’ Secondary School (PRESEC, Legon) and St. Thomas Aquinas Secondary School, who won the competition that year.
Before heading to the national competition, Mfantsiman Girls will compete in the GOIL PLC Regional Championship, where they aim to be crowned champions of the Central Region.
Their victory in the regional qualifiers is a promising start, and the team is hopeful that this momentum will carry them through the upcoming challenges, as they strive to restore their reputation as one of the top contenders in the National Science and Math Quiz.
With the support of their school and community, Mfantsiman Girls are poised to make a significant impact at the national stage, showcasing their academic excellence and competitive spirit.
